My mom used to make this with raspberry jello and frozen raspberries. I want to try this one too. It sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have had it made with strawberries, very good. Would like to try this version.
ReplyDeleteyeah how do you do the strawberry one
ReplyDeleteIts very simple follow the above listed recipe, but instead of orange gelatin use strawberry. As for the fruit use strawberries alone or add pineapples as well to your liking.
DeleteEnjoy and Good Luck!!
Sounds wonderful.....
ReplyDeleteAdding 16 ounces of cool whip and 2 cups of powdered sugar and 8 ounces of cream cheese made a liquid - a very, very sweet liquid, which was impossible to use. I tossed that and used 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup granulated sugar and 8 ounces of cool whip as in traditional strawberry pretzel salad. Hated to waste those ingredients!
