I made only 3 cups. I really like the taste. It's creamy, sweet just a little bit because of the marshmallow and fruits. The sour cream helps to reduce the sweetness. I used maraschino cherry. I used fat free sour cream. Thanks Teresa :) Made for PAC Spring 2010 http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 -
I made this on Palm Sunday for our dessert, and it was wonderful. Definately, chill overnight for the full flavor. This is a nice light dessert, and not too sweet. I halved the recipe, and it still made a lot! Even still, my family managed to go through it pretty fast. Will be making this again! Thank you.
