This was a hit at Christmas! The only thing I did different and because I forgot I put the Cool Whip on the top and not in the layers. This did not hurt the recipe .
I definitely wouldn't recommend this recipe!!! I never got past making the pudding. The mixture became so thick that it became stuck in my whisk. I changed to using the electric hand mixer and adding more eggnog, but only ended up burning out my mixer. The consistency of the pudding was like bread dough! Not sure if measurements are off in the recipe or not, but I was very displeased since I had planned to take this to a Christmas party the next evening. Now I'm back to square one and having to find a new recipe and most likely make another trip to the grocery for supplies.
It was a hit at the Christmas party this past Christmas2010
This was gross. Perhaps it was just the red and green maraschino cherries, but overall it tasted like gummy, nasty mush.
Delicious and really pretty--a winner all around! Almost like a banana split...had thoughts of adding chocolate chips and a drizzle of chocolate.
We took this to senior lunch at my mom's church and everyone wanted the recipe.Kathy Johnson, Sammamish, WA
