Made & reviewed for my PAC baby! I know this should have been made in a large dish & cut up for serving but it was only DH & I eating so I reduced the recipe & made it in two glasses instead. It was delicious & very simple to make. We found it rich yet still light & I can't wait to make this again in a large dish for guests! Thanks so much Pneuma for another great recipe

    More than anything else, what appealed to me about this recipe is the use of fruit cocktail, something I REALLY LIKE TO EAT! This was great putting this dessert together, & it was easy, too! I, too, cut the recipe down (in half) & had 2 great-size servings! Thanks for sharing your GREAT TASTING dessert! [Tagged, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders cooking game]

    This dish is very rich and very, very yummy. It is light, airy, and yet very filling. You don't need a large serving to feel content with this yummy and elegant dessert. It was surprisingly easy to put together too. Thanks for posting this wonderful keeper recipe!

    This was awesome! I had 8 guests, so I ended up making a whole recipe, and half more. We only ate 2/3rds of it, b/c it is very filling. I was confused on the gelatine, b/e one packet was only .25 oz. I must have used a different brand than the author did. I ended up putting 2 oz in. I also couldn't find Fruit Cocktail Syrup. There definitely isn't 1 1/2 cups in a can after you drain it. I ended up buying two cans, just for the juice. It all came out alright, but next time i'll just use tropical flavored Jello mix. It'll save alot of time, and a little money.

    A very nice recipe indeed. A very easy recipe to put together and it looks so fantastic when serving. I wasnt sure what fruit coktail was, so I used a tropical fruit saIad and also made the custard in my microwave and used a stick blender every so often to blend it, and when custard was quite warm I set the microwave to half power to fisnish the custard and blended again and the custard was perfect (and no lumps!) Everyone loved it here and I have some left for tomorrow, but next time I am going serve with a side of whipped cream! sshhhh!! Wonderful recipe Pneuma, will be making again. Thank You.

    This was OK, but I actually prefer trifle. It was nice for a change. Thanks for sharing.

    This was so rich and creamy. I like the recipe because of the use of fruit cocktail. Something I eat every week by itself. Now I have a new recipe to use my fruit cocktail with. I made this and shared with my family and everyone just loved it and wanted the recipe for it. Thanks so much for the awesome recipe..
