Delight your guests with this wonderfully light and delicious dessert. If you enjoy coconut add it to the pudding, or leave it out you will have a vanilla flavoured pudding. Serve with Crimson Raspberry sauce.

  3. If adding coconut, fold into chilled mixture.
  4. Whip cream and fold into above mixture.
  5. Lightly spray a 1 1/2 quart mold with cooking spray and pile pudding into mold. Chill until firm. (at least 4 hours or overnight)

Crimson Raspberry Sauce:
  • 2 cups frozen raspberries, thawed
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch

  1. This recipe is not unlike a whipped chilled cheesecake I make. I've often wondered what it would be like omitting the cream cheese. I will try this recipe with the coconut and I am positive it will be a hit.ingst

  6. I love the mold too...it makes it look just right for Christmas.
    So here's the deal: Either you loan out your mold or tell us where we can get our own!
    (There are a few public libraries in America that now have baking pans and molds collections available for check out. Isn't that just cool? No luck with that here in SLC...yet!)

  7. Honestly, I thought it was that Jello mold that you can get everywhere at Christmastime lol. Maybe I'm wrong.....It's very pretty this way regardless!

  13. Jill Pam and who ever else may be wondering about the mold......The Dollar Store! You can find lots of cheap plastic molds this time of year. If you don't want to spend more than a buck or two and your dollar store doesn't have one...try MCC stores or Value Village. It's amazing what you can find at those thrift stores. Kathy

  15. Thanks for getting back to us about the mold. I did on line research for a similar mold that cost about $35 USD...too much to spend for a "once in a while" recipe. Didn't even think about checking out the good old dollar store!

  16. This looks wonderful! Is there a substitute for the currant jelly since I am having a hard time finding it where I live?

  17. In answer to the question about the current jelly....you could use grape or raspberry jelly. I hope your dessert turns out.
