Lovely! Tart, smooth, creamy and crunchy. This is how I'd describe this 'different' dessert. I'm going to try it next time with fresh orange juice. Thanks for posting. -
I liked this alot, I used honey roasted cornflakes and it came out delicious. The only I disliked, was the fact that you have to eat it quick because it melts fast. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe! -varinia -
Perfect! Simple ingredients, quick throw-together, and delicious finished product. Can't wait to try it with pineapple! Thank you. -
I have been searching for this recipe for many, many years and am so happy to finally find it! My dear Mother used to make this for me when I was a small child. She used crushed graham crackers on the bottom though. I'm going to make this very soon...even though I'm on a diet!!! I think when I take the first bite, a flood of happy memories will come back and I may even cry because my Mom is gone now. Thank you so much! -
Wow, this recipe is a blast from the past! My mom used to make it, too. It's just as good as I remembered--and easy, too! I did a graham cracker crust instead of cornflakes, because that's what my mom used. YUMMM!

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
