"This is such a fun recipe. Yes, it does take a little time to make, but it is so worth it! I love the white layer. It adds such a nice creamy texture to the other jello layers."
"Made exactly as written (except I added strawberries and blueberries) and came out looking just like the picture! Can't believe I had no problems getting it out of the pan. It does take awhile to make. The first layer took the longest because it was still very hot. By the time I got to the last layer, it had almost set in the bowl before I had a chance to add it."
"Also works at Christmas using green, red and white"
"love this recipe. i make it all the time. but i use different flavor gelatin. jolly ranch makes gelatin now and the flvor is better then jello"
"just anote also i enjoyed making the gelantin would do it again."
"why would the top part of the gelantin fall after cutting 4 slices"
"This recipe is impressive, yet old fashioned & fun. I have a big military family so this was a hit!"
"It was very delicious and showy. I made it for the 4th of July pig roast and everyone loved it. Didn't start it until the morning of but it set up beautifully and ready to eat by 5:00. I did substitute 8 ounces cream cheese for one cup of sour cream and it turned out great. Each layer set up nice and fairly quickly. Put blueberries, raspberries and black raspberries in the middle. Lot of fun to made and I plan on using different flavors for different seasons."
