Tips 

You can try this recipe with any juice of your choice
Mango and orange will yield a good pudding
Its best to whip the cream by yourself than using the store bought cool whip 
The gelatin we get in India is much stronger than the one available in US markets, hence if the gelatin is bought from Indian markets use only 1 1/2 TBSP
