I made this for a pot luck for work and everyone gobbled it down. One person went back for 3 helpings. Thank you for sharing

OMG!!! This deserves more than 5 stars! I made this for a family cookout yesterday and it was the PERFECT dessert - not too heavy and the flavor was out of this world! My brother said it was like eating a creamsickle from the ice cream truck when we were kids. Thanks for this recipe!

I got this same recipe many years ago and while most people say they do not remember the creamsickle bars of years ago, soon as they taste it they remember! We have also changed using the orange to Strawberry or lemon and both are equally as good!

I made this exactly as directed. This really did taste like a creamsickle! I loved the fact that it was so easy to prepare! This was very moist and tasty! I took it to a party at work and one person ate three (3) pieces and a person that doesn't like sweets ate two pieces. I have already promised to give copies of the recipe to some of the bakers at work. The only problem I had was my fault. I thought that by using a drinking straw to poke holes, the jello would be distributed more uniformly. I had a problem pouring the jello into the little holes and then ended up using a wooden spoon anyway. Luckily no one noticed all of the holes in the cake. :) The cake turned out very nicely in the end - even with all the holes in it (the pudding mixture covered everything). Thank you so much for this recipe!
