" I would bring the water for the jello down to 1 cup of cold water next time because my Jello never solidified completely. Also, instead of 1 1/2 packages of cream cheese only doing one, thin out that middle layer a bit. I'm definitely looking forward to making it again doing this because it still tasted wonderful!! "
