If you like whipped cream you'll love this one. I only made 2 changes: I broke the wafer cookies up before I layered them with the whipped cream because I thought when you cut into it a large area would be collapsed. Also it needs a little red or pink food coloring - it just looks more raspberry-ish. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Be sure to refrigerate it for a long time before serving - those cookies come out the texture and flavor of those ice cream sandwiches that have the soft cookie on the outside. Thinking I'll just do a vanilla bean flavoring / syrup instead of the raspberry and call it ice cream sandwich pie. AWESOME! Everyone loved it.

This recipe wasn't too difficult to make, and turned out very well. I doubled the recipe and made two pies, which I took to a family reunion. Of all the desserts there, it was the first to be eaten. I grated a small amount of dark chocolate into the whipped cream that I used to top the pies just before serving instead of using chocolate curls, and garnished them with raspberries and blackberries to give them a red, white, and blue look for Independence Day. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This is excellent! The hardest part of this recipe was waiting the 12 hours to cut it (we only waited 8) and finding the Raspberry Syrup in my area. I never did find the syrup so I used the Raspberry Sauce (by The_Tattooed_Chef) from this site and just made it a little thicker and it worked perfectly. This is light, airy, and delicious. Everyone loved it. I will be making this again. Thanks for sharing!

This dessert is easy to make. Just didn't like having to wait so long for it to set. By then the cream is set and I can see why you would have to add fresh. It was okay but nothing I'd make again.

The family loved it. I only gave it 4 stars because a)it was really rich and b)I had a hard time finding the chocolate wafers -- ended up using oreo cookies without the filling.

Very good! I'd like to try to make a healthy version of this. But it looked really beautiful... I used red food coloring in the whipped cream, and put raspberries and grated chocolate on top. Everyone liked it.

Very tasty but time consuming to create. The heavy cream didn't sweeten up as much as I expected and gave the dessert an odd flavor. The fresh berries and syrup garnish disguised that but still I wonder if whipping cream wouldn't have been a better choice. My guy thought it was very good and worth the effort!

This was really good. My kids thought I was crazy putting cookies in for the layer, but I let it refrigerate overnight, and it was perfect. Yum! (I made it for Valentine's day, and decorated it with chocolate hearts.)
