Made this for the first time today. I halved the recipe and it turned out very good. It was simple and great for a cold night. I'll be making it again.

I made this recipe for the first time for a dessert buffet for my child's junior high teachers. I made it the night before and it turned out beautiful and delicious. I used strawberries and blueberries for one fruit layer and the bananas and pineapple for the other. I mixed the (vanilla) pudding with 1 cup of milk before blending with sour cream and whipped topping. The texture was very creamy but not runny -- perfect. I also soaked the bananas in the pineapple juice as recommended and squirted a little lemon juice into the juice for extra protection against browning. Used "store-bought" angel cake. It was simple and delicious. I'm making it again soon for a picnic.

I have made these at Christmas for 3 years now and they have always been delicious. I always get raves. I had never made biscotti before making these. I did find that they needed 45 minutes of cooking and that they needed more than 10 minutes to dry. To dry them, I usually turn them twice (5 minutes each time)for a total of 10 minutes on each side. It is difficult to find shelled pistachios in my area so that part is time consuming -- but worth it. This is a beautiful Christmas cookie for sharing.
