If you take this to pot luck, as I did, take a serving for yourself the minute you put it on the table or you won’t get any. It was gone in less time than it took to make and there were raves all around. Worth the prep. time.

Delicious recipe but I have several questions/comments. The 6 oz box of Jello calls for 2 C hot water and 2 C cold but the recipe calls for 1 C hot and 1/2 C cold (ice cubes). I split the difference and used about 1 1/2 C of each. Also the recipe calls for 1 1/4 C of cold milk but this was not nearly enough to get the cream cheese/pudding mixture smooth. I had to add signifcantly more milk (did not measure) to get the desired consistency.

The pound cake was a little oily...any substitute I could use? Thanks!

I made this one Friday night for friends and family. It didn't last 2 days. It was a hit. Next time, I'm going to try using angel food cake or shortcake. I didn't have the strawberry coolwhip so I just used regular coolwhip. It was great!
