I used to make that. It really is soooo good. But kind of tedious and time consuming to make, chilling between each layer.

it is very pretty.. but you lost me at sour cream.

Do you not like sour cream per se or is it anything dairy?

It doesn't take like sour cream at all, it just tastes like major yumminess. ;)

almost all dairy..

I can do a bit, now and again, but any kind of cheese is right out, totally.

Hate the taste of sour cream too. eelgh

I make that too! It's yummy! But I don't think my white layer has sour cream. I'm thinking it uses sweetened condensed milk. I didn't make it this year, because DIL can't have dairy right now, so we just had strawberry jello instead.
