This was very good, but I will make it with more cream cheese and less cool whip next time...

This was sooo good. The jam was impossible to spread over the crust, so I just dropped spoons over the whole thing. It seemed to set better the longer it was in the refridgerator. It was not nearly as pretty as the picture, but it was very tasty and light!

Can I use a 13x9 in pan? If so, does that mean I should DOUBLE the recipe? I do however have 2 small square Pyrex pans, I could always use both of them too

This was very good. I used low-fat cream cheese and lite cool whip instead of the regular so it didn't set very well.
