Thank you for the inspiration on this! My family has a “green pudding” on the table every year that includes pasticio jello, pineapple and marshmallows. I’m sure I could change things up a bit this year thanks to you! Merry early Christmas.
This looks amazing! I have a question – what is cool whip? We don’t have that in Australia. Will thickened whipped fresh cream do the same?
whip up some heaving whipping cream combined with a little bit of sugar
