This was delicious but the crust was very hard..what did I do wrong…followed the directions.???
Thanks Mary! Sorry to hear that your crust was too hard. This can happen sometimes to baked graham cracker crusts, but since this one isn’t baked, the only thing I could suggest is not pressing it down as hard next time.
Could whipped cream be used instead of Cool Whip? I really prefer the taste of a good, lightly sweetened heavy whipping cream beaten to stiff peaks to the chemical flavor of Cool Whip.
Hey Michelle. Yes, you absolutely could use whipped cream instead.
Made this for my son on Father’s Day. His comment, I could eat this every day, delicious!
Hey Liz I tried it on my Hubby’s b’day and you know what? he loved it, we had this for all the guests and all of them praised it. Thank you so much for making my special day even more special
So glad he loved it!
