I made this for a family get together a few years ago and the kids and a few adults loved it and asked for more.

I love this recipe, I've taken this in several times for a potluck @ my job and everyone there loves it, I always bring home an empty pan. The other day we had a Italian theme so instead of making the recipe with blueberries I used green jello and kiwi, coconut flakes for the middle of the flag strawberries for the right side of the flag and kiwi for the left side. Green, white and red Italian flag, instead of using strawberry jello or blueberry I just changed the Jello to green Melon, I came home with an empty pan. I love this recipe it versatile and easy.

I used the regular Cream Cheese, because low-fat or less fat Cream Cheese always has a different taste. I actually bought a 12oz tub of regular Cool Whip and used half, which made the cream taste better. The jello's are sugar free and yes, wait longer than 5 mins on the red. It needs to be slighty thickened so you can scoop it out, but still spread. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow.

I made the recipe with my kids today as a fun summer project. I used the 1/3 less fat cream cheese and the Lite Cool Whip. I wasn't crazy about the taste/texture of the cream cheese and I think that 16 ozs. is too much. The cake is very sweet (I did not add the fruit) and the boys did not like the cream cheese in the middle. I think next time I will reduce the cream cheese to 8 ozs of regular and use more cool whip. Also, when I added my red jello to the top of the cream cheese it blended with the cream cheese center to make it pink. I will definitely let the red jello sit longer than 5 minutes or put it in the fridge for 10 minutes or so. Overall, a very nice cake.
