Crust must cool, puddings must cool.Must chill for four hours. If you have company, make it the day before. NOTE: this freezes well, but it is a bear to get out of the pan after it is frozen. It does not deter my husband from chiseling it out of the pan. I prefer using the Rich Whip where you have to whip the stuff yourself. Cool Whip doesn't have the greatest taste either. After making the two different puddings from scratch, I am half way to an angel food cake from scratch!!<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"08\/23\/2014 11:40","GUID":"eb402077c98f43e194335618daf5767e","MemberId":1947888,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"xiaxia3","SubmittedDate":"08\/23\/2014 11:40"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"06\/30\/2012 11:48","GUID":"0d8c36e03adb4c489468761965c6d51b","MemberId":1726613,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mina2304","SubmittedDate":"06\/30\/2012 11:48"},{"Comment":"
Made this for Easter and loved it! A little on the sweet side but awesome just the same! Was gone in two days! Next time I will try to make it a bit healthier but as far as taste - this recipe is awesome! Very creamy and refreshing.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"06\/21\/2012 20:19","GUID":"7ab7d130e34942ef815fd25587f53bfc","MemberId":6641314,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Foreverdixie","SubmittedDate":"06\/21\/2012 20:19"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"03\/28\/2012 23:32","GUID":"37bb43d14d304e128d65f59383c07093","MemberId":4154223,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"IvyRiggs","SubmittedDate":"03\/28\/2012 23:32"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"02\/27\/2012 18:34","GUID":"b94bab3e30e7486cb7a0836507745e92","MemberId":1049383,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cjbtea","SubmittedDate":"02\/27\/2012 18:34"},{"Comment":"
I found this recipe in June\/July 2002 issue I picked up at a garage sale. What a wonder find. Made this for Super Bowl Sunday and it was a big hit with the family. Even the picky eater loved it. Will make this again for sure! Passed the recipe on to my wonderful daughter-in-law, she so loved this dessert.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"02\/06\/2012 09:20","GUID":"dc9abae86a3046dab7f82b9f2abbc296","MemberId":6509930,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"GrandmaJ25","SubmittedDate":"02\/06\/2012 09:20"},{"Comment":"
Rave reviews at family gathering! Asked 3x's for the recipe. Husband says this is our new family standard for desserts. Took me a bit longer than expected, but more than worth it. Looks beautiful & tastes great.

This dessert is soooo worth the time and effort! I've made it several times and I get asked for the recipe every time. I followed the recipe exactly and I've also used just a graham cracker crust and both are amazing!! Love it, love it, love it!! Highly recommend it!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"01\/15\/2010 11:03","GUID":"6e822b11aaaf4f79a8313ef04c627969","MemberId":4142334,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"moyer1995","SubmittedDate":"11\/09\/2011 12:41"},{"Comment":"
Wow. I made this for Father's day and it was WONDERFUL!!! Give yourself plenty of time. I did not modify at all. I used fresh lemon juice which tasted perfect. I already had a request to make this again. Very rich but worth every minute and "calorie". This is definitely going to be a favorite.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"06\/20\/2011 00:16","GUID":"a95f9e309ec04a37a264ac248bfd0c1e","MemberId":1776920,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Dioptase","SubmittedDate":"06\/20\/2011 00:16"},{"Comment":"
Made this for Easter, very good,,, but I would decrease the sugar,( we like it tart). Also it wasn't very firm when sliced!! Did I do something wrong?<\/p>
Very tasty so I would make it again!!!!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"04\/25\/2011 21:34","GUID":"7DAB0975352540F5902144BE444A5F34","MemberId":281817,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"selias","SubmittedDate":"04\/25\/2011 21:34"},{"Comment":"
I made this for a women's luncheon\/35 people. Rave reviews & recipe requests. Kudos to you ladies. I am kind of slow & it took me a little longer to make. When I confessed this to the ladies, they told me MY extra time was worth it! My husband loved it too & agreed with the extra time being well spent.

Although this dessert takes time and patience, it is well worth the effort! Yum-yum! (I suggest using (2) 8-oz. containers of Cool Whip, therefore not needing to divide a 16-oz. container.) -Lori in WI.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"08\/04\/2009 16:23","GUID":"25EBBAE688D54B9BA54F1BA1C8172BEC","MemberId":656532,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Classicrock","SubmittedDate":"08\/04\/2009 16:26"},{"Comment":"
