This was a big disappointment, everyone just said it tasted like a big blob of cool whip. (I made individual servings) Anyway, it wasn't as good as it sounded.

This was only okay. I kept adding juices hoping that it would get some taste, and it never really did. I eventually had grapefruit, lemon and orange juice as well as orange and lemon peel in it. I should have reduced the milk by a lot, I think. I may try something like this again, but I certainly will adjust.

I loved this recipe, i made this mousse twice however i changed it a bit both times. The first time i added 1/4 cup extra lemon juice going by another member's review (i replaced the grapefruit with lemon juice) and added about 2 1/2 teaspoons of gelatine as i found it very runny. I suppose this might have been because i used fresh whipped cream (you dont get frozen whipped topping over here. The second time i made it i made a pineapple mousse instead which turned out great! I used a tin of pineapples and used a cup of the juice inside the tin. Then i added 5 teaspoons of gelatine with just enough water to make sure that the gelatine dissolves completely. It was lovely! Also, both times i added some orange essence as i found that the mousse smelled very 'cheesy'. It still had a slight hint of a cheesy smell but that gave a 'cheescakey' flavour which everyone actually liked quite a bit.

I really liked this recipe. It set up beautifully and I didn't think that it was too sweet or too tart. I can't wait to try some of the modifications for our next get-together!

Hmmm. Maybe I did it wrong, but this was really soupy. Flavor was great, but I had to freeze it to get the texture I wanted.

The mousse was very quick and easy to make. Next time I will choose to flavor with one sweet juice and one sour juice. The lemon and the grapefruit juice made this mousse too bitter. I think it would be perfect with orange juice and grapefruit juice or lemon juice and strawberry juice.

Ehhh.... This was just OK for us. I only used the one carton of cool whip as suggested & I did add a bit more of the juice (I used a sweet ruby red grapefruit juice). I also cut back on the sweetened condensed milk (I used fat free) but it was still too sweet. My grandson enjoyed his but hubby & I were ambivalent about our's. Thansk anyway Kate!

I loved this sweet (almost too sweet!) yet tangy mousse. I added finely diced pineapple to give it some texture and bring down the sweetness a bit. After I started adding the diced pineapple, I started getting requests for the recipe.

This is what I expected, we have a similar recipe that we've been making for years but it uses whipping cream instead of the cool whip. I've been wondering if there was a way to make it less fattening...so I tried this recipe using fat free sweetened condensed milk and fat free cool whip. I used just lemon juice, I used 2 cans sweetened condensed milk as did most other reviewers. It didnt set up as firm as when I use the whipping cream, but the taste was there. We serve ours with fresh fruit.
