I want one of these to eat, but I have none of that in the house. Well, maybe butter. It looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteIs that orange juice 'concentrate'?????????
ReplyDeleteEither pure orange juice or orange juice made from concentrate.
ReplyDeleteDid you use green food colouring for the second layer?
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't use green food color.
DeleteCan i make this without cream cheese? i really hate cream cheese
ReplyDeleteI haven't made it without cream cheese, maybe you could use whipped cream instead. If you try it please let us now how it turns out.
DeleteAnother idea..maybe use ricotta cheese?
