I made this recipe for Christmas Eve Dessert. I goofed and forgot to fold in the whipped topping prior to pouring the filling into the crust. The result was more of a cheese cake rather than "fluffy" filling. I improvised by adding the cool whip on top and carefully pulling it through the filling with a large fork, not disturbing the crust. I will probably repeat my mistake in the future because everyone loved it just the way it was. I sprinkled the reserved crumbs on top and placed in the freezer for an hour before covering it in foil / moving it to the fridge. I made this in the morning and it had the entire day to chill. Everyone loved it, even the kids who usually don't appreciate a cheese cake dessert like the adults. My only suggestion and something I will change up the next time I prepare this is adding 6 ounces of frozen juice concentrate rather than plain juice. While the dessert was delicious, The orange juice was not detectable at all. By using frozen concentrate you could use orange, cranberry, lemonade, or any flavor that fits the occasion or your personal taste and give it some nice juicy notes.
