    I am going to try it but why are your recipes not able to be copied for pasting else where ?? Some times it can be a lot of writing to get it all down. Thanks Jim

        I can’t print. I can’t screenshot. I can’t download. what is the point of having these recipes if I can’t get them.

          Look at the very bottom of the screen and you will see three dots on the right. Click on them and then choose Open in Browser. This will give you an Upload icon. Tap on that, scroll down until you see Print. Tap on Print. You may have to enter some printer info. PRINT will come up. It will print the recipe. Always look for those 3 dots when printing recipes. A blogger informed me of these directions.

    Quite often I see a delicious looking recipe that I want to prepare only to find out I can’t print it. I’m speaking of your Cherry Delite. Am I missing a step?

      Why can I not print your recipe for “CHERRY DELIGHT”? I really love and this looks soooo delicious.

    I never use Cool Whip anymore. My local grocery store has freshly whipped cream. Natural food product, not an oil based concoction.

    I love this dessert!only difference is I add Cool Whip to the cream cheese. Cool and before serving cherry pie filling over top.

    My mom had a recipe just like this. We would make the dream whip, as directed by package, then mix with the cream cheese and powder sugar mixture. I made a pan of this every week during my last trimester, when I was pregnant with my daughter. Soooo good!

  16. Jean

    What do you consider a medium size pan? 9×13?

  17. Pixie Barber

    Thank you for all the great recipes! I will be making some of them:) My grandma used to make a Cherry Delight but it was a little different than yours. It was a little tangy but sweet at the same time. I’ve been looking for a recipe like hers for over 40 years and just can’t find one . But yours is very good! Thank you again:)
