"I have made this for years! ORANGE is fantastic, try this substitute. (To clarify a prior question below...you substitute the cold water in the jello mix with cold pop. I always use a can of sunkis..." See moret, mix 1/2 in with the jello and just pour the other half over the top as well. I make it in a regular cake pan, one layer, with no whole fruit. It keeps a little better and is a huge hit. Tastes like a wonderfully yummy cream sickle. YUM... Regular cake pan makes it a bit easier to make, very quick and clean...easy to store in the fridge as well. :)"
