Dear jaxnurse, There are tart pans with removable bottoms, you just lift out whe whole bottom when cooled and either slide off or place ona decorative plate as there is usually about a 1/2" lip on the outer edge that doesn't show.

This was good as-is, and I used both sugar-free pudding and cool whip..was great. If someone can answer this, please do: In the photo, the tart is out of the pan on on a plate. How do you do that? It's not in the video or the directions...am I slow? :)

Delicious! Since I had bought the large box of vanilla pudding I used it with 2 cups milk. The added almond flavoring made the whole dessert. I didn't have to ask my youngest son if he liked it. He ate 3 pieces at one time and he's my toughest critic. Yum!

Years ago I made a similar tart which I called Hollywood Pie. The only difference was I used an apple jelly glaze over the fruit. This is one tart which my family enjoyed for many years and still enjoys.

Simple to make, attractive & use low calorie cool whip to make less fat.

Easiest dessert I've ever made, fast too. I recommend reducing the nilla wafers to 40, I threw out about a 1/4 cup of crust mixture & I was liberal with it, probably 1/4" thick. Last but not least it was delicious, topped with bananas, strawberries, & fresh frozen raspberries. Will last 1 week in fridge.

This was delicious! I actually changed the recipe a little because of a mixup with my pudding. I used butterscotch instead of vanilla and I topped the cake with the remaining whipped topping before adding the berries, almonds and kiwi. My mess-up turned out to be yummy!
