WOW! What a hit at our family 4th party. I should have made a double batch. And it was easier to make than I thought it might be. Since it was 100 degree temps, I filled the dessert dishes with the topping & put them in the freezer. Then assembled them before taking to the party.

I use to work in a cafeteria bakery and made this every day during the holiday of red,white and blue. I then used whatever I had on hand to do the same thing.Always get two or three whipped topping and freeze what you don't need for later use!
