This recipe is fantastic but to make it to where it wasn't so full of fat and sugar I made it with sugar free Jello and Pudding. I also used Light Cool Whip and Fat Free Cream Cheese. It helps skim a little of the bad off a dessert that is just too good to stop at a small serving

I tried this on Father's Day and took it to my parents house. It was very good. Maybe too good, there was nothing left to bring home! I will definitely make this recipe again.

Easy to make. Tastes great. My family loved it! I made it as is - next time I will try the reduce fat way!

I've made this recipe twice. The first time I used the ingredients just as they were listed, except I used light cream cheese, sugar free jello and pudding. It was very good. The second time, I used angel food cake (it's lower in fat), and again the sugar free jello and pudding, low fat cream cheese and cool whip. It tasted just as good as with the pound cake.

This recipe was an Easter hit! I went with fat free items to keep the calories down...cool whip, cream cheese, jello and vanilla pudding. I added another tub of cool whip to the top since I had room and garnished with some remaining berries. My relatives thought it was a great change from the usual pies and nut breads at Easter, nice and light!

Delicious, nice and cool on a hot day. Used frozen fruits because fresh was out of season but it was still delicious. Such a pretty dish to take to a party or potluck.
