This is a recipe I discovered about 25 years ago when grape gelatin was hard to find! It's a terrific side dish or a delicious dessert. It's very rich in flavor and can be made ahead of time. Also good with cherry gelatin and cherry pie filling.

I thought this was really good and I took it camping and got rave reviews. My only suggestion would to make sure the cream cheese is softened all of the way and be sure to use an electric mixer to mix the topping...mine was a little chunky and it took away from the flavor. Read More

I liked this recipe ok. I took it to a family function where I'm known for my desserts. Unfortunately it didn't go over too well and most of it came home with me. Maybe the cherry would've been a better choice. Read More

I too like this version with grape jello the best and always end up with an empty dish. The blueberries and pineapple are wonderful together and the topping is delicious! 5 star all the way! Read More

This is an excellent recipe. I had tried the recipe before made with rasberry jello but when I tried to find that version I found this one instead. That is the only difference. I am suprised that this hasn't been tried by more people. I try alot of recipes found on this sight and this one is very very good. I like the rasberry version better than the grape but both are very good. I always serve as a dessert. Read More

The store I shopped at didnt have blueberry pie filling so I used cherry jello and cherry pie filling. This was excellent. Barely any leftovers. This was loved by adults and children. A great versatile recipe that can't be beat. The frosting is delicious! Read More

I made this for Easter dinner using little silicone bundt molds for individual servings. It came out very pretty and got great reviews for taste. I didn't use the cream cheese topping just swirled Reddi-Whip in the center of the molds which everyone thought was fine. Read More

This is a great dish!! If I said I make it for my boys to enjoy I would be lying... I make it for ME to enjoy! Although I do share with them too! I have used different kinds of jello some I have liked better than others but it is always a great dish. I also finely crush pretzels and sprinkle on top. The sugar & sweet is Y-U-M-M-O! One thing to caution is this may not be good for a picnic or potluck if dish will be out for a period of time only becuause jello will melt. If you have a ice cooler with room no worries... otherwise consider this if dish will be out over an hour. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE!! One of my very favorites! Read More
