Such a great summer dessert. My family and friends liked it, I thought it was delicious. Easy to make, though the prep time took me way longer than the recipe said. Make sure you use HOT water to dissolve the gelatin. Also, the sliced peaches I bought were sliced really thick, making it hard to spread the pudding and Cool Whip over the top, but I managed :)I forgot to put the crushed pineapple over the peaches, so I improvised and just layered them over the pudding. Worked out fine. Cut into squares, getting them out of the dish nice and clean was a task, the bottom layer wants to stick to it. Garnished squares with sliced strawberries and mint leaves. Scrumptious! Note: make sure to serve ASAP because the layer of bananas gets an icky brown! I tossed mine in lemon juice even.

THIS WAS A FUN DESSERT TO MAKE WITH MY GRAND DAUGHTER. REALLY, IT IS A TRIFLE. I WOULD USE DIFFERENT FRUIT NEXT TIME - DEFINITELY NOT THE CRUSHED PINEAPPLE.

It tasted very good but turned out "soupy". I don't think I'll try it again.

Wow...with all these 5 star reviews, I was expecting something more! I followed the recipe exactly...all except for the pineapple. I am afraid I found it to be too sweet. The red color of the jell-o was also kind of shocking! I bet it would be fun for a kids party. It just didn't go over at all at the Bridal Shower I brought it to. Guests took a few bites then left it on their plates. I ended up throwing the majority of it away. Sorry.

I don't usually like different kinds of fruits together but I have to say that I just loved this, it all went together was a great taste.

I liked this recipe, very tropical, sweet and light. The instructions were a bit confusing (hence the 3 rating)but easy to straighten out. I let the gelatin cool before putting the bananas and pineapple on top and then let the pudding cool (did not use instant) before putting that on top of the gelatin. It was very delicious. Thank you Mel. I like the strawberry idea from another review and will try that out next.

Nice and light for a hot day. I used some fresh crushed strawberries with the jello. Also used fresh peaches instead of canned and no pineapple. Yummy!

This was pretty tasty. I used strawberries, the bananas and pineapple, and made the pudding mix with non-fat milk. It was pretty good, especially considering how low in calories it is.

I didn't like the part of this recipe where you break the cake. It made it very difficult to frost. I like surprises and when I gave this to my family they were really surprised !

Used only half of the strawberry gelatin, stawberries instead of peaches, skipped the pineapple. Wonderful, light dessert. Everyone loved it.

The cool, light, moist, fruity layers of this dessert were refreshing; I made this for Clark Lodge 40--no leftovers. This is a nice springy-feeling dessert, and is simple to make. You could even throw in some mandarin oranges, coconut, or almonds/pecans if you are so inclined.

I really liked this recipe alot. I followed the advice of another reviewer and used strawberries instead of peaches with the bananas. I left out the peach juice without a problem. I highly recomend using a homemade angel food cake and real wipped cream for a very special occasion. (I chose Angel Food Cake III from this site.) It was a big hit at my son's birthday party and he was very happy to have the strawberry cake he had requested.

This recipe was ok I guess...nothing spectacular. Hubby and I took it on a picnic, and neither of us thought it was too great. Just a suggestion for someone, I would use strawberries next time and give it more of a "strawberry banana" flavor. Oh well...I doubt there will be a next time. Thanks! Ally
