  I won first place in the healthy potluck. Not in the dessert category but overall. I beat out main dishes and complicated salads with this 3 ingredient (plus water) treat! The guys were drooling over it! Great recipe. - 2/14/09

  This is wonderful! It is much better when made with the lowfat varieties as indicated. I made it the first time by the recipe, and it was great. I put in parfait glasses, and thought that a garnish of mandarin oranges and mint leaves would make it perfect. TASTY! - 1/3/09

  I loved this dessert, but I had one major problem: It was gone too soon! My family gobbled it up - a nice summery taste in the middle of this frigid winter weather. I'm just about to make some more. :)

  I too have to agree this is just great, I've used so many different flavor combinations the my family & friends just love, Chocolate Cherry, Strawberry Cheescake flavored, I did a key lime pie but the top two so far are the original & White Chocolate Raspberry! Thanks so much for the idea! - 4/16/09

  Wonderful! Made this for the kick-off of "Biggest Loser" contest at work...packaged in 3 oz drink cups and then froze it....made several flavors....big hit..now I'm only using 1/2 cup of cold water instead of 1 cup...more intense flavor....I'm hooked! 3 oz is plenty for me! Good job! - 9/21/08

  I made this today with peach jello and cheesecake pudding. I added some canned peaches that I crushed in the blender. Usually I can't taste the difference between sugar free and regular stuff or at least I don't mind it. But I can in this dish. Still it's pretty good though! - 10/19/08

  I loved this. Made it with white chocolate pudding and it was yummy. My family likes it best if I don't use sugar free jello, still low in fat that way. i poured in crystal wine goblets to set, topped with a dollop of cool whip, and my family thought we were having company. - 9/24/08

  I doubled the recipe and added a can of mandarin oranges. I used the liquid from the can to make up the liquid for the cold water. I also added ice cubes to the cold water to speed up the set time for the jello. Amazing, and so low in calories. This one is a win win! - 5/14/10

  Add in a box of cook tapioca pudding along with the vanilla pudding and jello mix. Next stir in mandarin oranges when the mixture is partially set and then refrigerate to set completely. Also try with other flavors of jello too! Strawberry/Banana flavor with strawberry & banana slices is great! - 6/23/10

  I was not crazy about this one. I was so excited, and expected a creamy dessert. The dessert I got was a foamy-type consistency. I used lime instead of orange, and while the taste was ok, not something I'd probably recommend. I might try again with real puddingand orange jello. did I mess up? - 1/2/09

  This was more gelatinous than I expected. I expected it would be more creamy. I may have bought the wrong orange gelatin, because it had a bit of a funny taste.
  1/12/2012 I made it again with strawberry jello and cheesecake pudding. It was fluffier, so I liked it better. - 2/7/11

  I prefer this frozen, with a small variation: If you don't mix it all the way, pour it into individual dessert containers and freeze them....the jello/pudding and cool whip will partially separate before freezing, resulting in italian ice on bottom with a fluffly gelato topping :) - 11/23/10

  So if you don't use hydrogenized oil (Coolwhip ingredient), try substituting pure dairy whipped cream or even light whipped cream in a can. And if you don't like artificial sweetener use Jello with sugar flavoring. - 6/23/11

  I loved these treats. They satisfied my sweets craving so well I didn't even have to eat the whole thing, and the best part is I was able to make the recipie into 6 servings for less calories!! - 6/23/11

  I used cream cheese flavored pudding. I didn't like it very much. I wil make again, but will use vanilla pudding. - 6/11/11

  My family and I enjoyed this very much. I will certainly make it again, and may even try different flavor combs. - 6/8/11
