I have made this recipe many times using store-bought graham crusts but I love the idea of individual desserts. I use sugar-free Jello and low-fat Cool Whip for fewer calories.

I substitued the 1/4 C of softened butter with one small banana & bake for 6 mins. I also added 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the cool whip. WOW! The flavor combo is great. You reduce the fat while boosting the flavor. It's the best!

Ours looked just as lovely as the picture and was very easy to make, however we did find the quantities to be off. We needed more graham crumbs and we found the mixture a bit too sweet. It was easy to fix the graham crumbs and next time, I will simply use less jello. If the mix isn't pinkish enough, a drop of food colouring ought to do it. We'll definitely try it again with the modifications above.

I made this recipe this weekend to you ladies that are saying it didn't look like the pic I can't understand why I am no whiz around the kitchen and mine looked even better (lol so I think) I would make this again for sure maybe next time in a graham wafer pie crust. Everyone loved it!!! A nice light dessert and so easy to do.

This was absolutely amazing. So light. My husband is not a strawberry fan but he ended up eating two. My kids loved it too. I would definitely make this again and again.

I thought the taste of this recipe was very good, but I found the quantities to be off. Maybe it was just me, but there wasn't enough graham mixture to fill all 12 cups. I found them easy to remove from the pan, but they definitely didn't look as pretty as in the photo!
