I made this for a dessert get together on Wednesday and it was a bit hit. Of course, it was also one of three things that were actually homemade :) This is one of the simplest recipes I know for a strawberry dessert and I'm pretty sure it was the only thing my grandmother could make that actually tastes good. Yay!
1 3oz. pkg. strawberry jello
1 3oz. pkg. frozen strawberries
1 Tbsp. Sugar
6” angel cake
1 pkg. cool whip
Dissolve
jello in 1 ¼ cups boiling water. Add thawed strawberries and sugar. Cool until
it jells and the fold in cool whip. Lightly fold in angel caked (in pieces) and
place in a 9x9 pan. Refrigerate and when ready, serve with more cool whip on
top.
Side note, when it says "until it jells" it just means thick and almost jelled. If you wait until it is completely jello, the cool whip will not mix in or set correctly. If you do wait too long and it will not mix in, just add about 1/4 cup of hot water and stir, then add the cool whip and angel food cake.
This is a great dessert for a summer cookout. It's not too fancy and its fruity and light. I'm not a big fan of desserts like cake in the summer unless there's fruit involved :)
Enjoy and Happy Friday!
