This didn't turn out like I expected. It never set up that well and it kind of separated into two layers--fruit, sour cream, and flavor on the top and a pale pink jello on the bottom. I stirred it all up and it tastes better. I think it was my fault, not the recipe's, so I'm not giving it any stars. My guess is I added too much water. I live in China and ice cube trays are really uncommon, so I subbed 2 cups of cold water for the 12 ice cubes. However, I think that since there is sour cream in it, 1 1/2 cups would be better. Another possibility is that I didn't stir it as much after adding the cold water because I didn't need to wait for the ice cubes to melt and it didn't get fully combined. A final possibility is that I was in a hurry for it to set up, so I put it in the freezer for an hour or two of the chilling time and that changed something. I might have to make this again sometime to see if I can get it to turn out better; if I do, I'll update this review.Reply
