I made this dessert for dinner while on vacation at the beach house. Everyone loved how light and refreshing it was. The kids helped and strawberries were a little over mashed but it still turned out great!

This was so easy to make! The only problem i had is the jello and the cool whip were separating, so of course, it looked a little different. It still tasted pretty good though.

I made this cake for a family gathering. It was a huge success. I have since made it using several other flavors: lime, raspberry, peach, and grape jellos. (Omitting the strawberries and adding other types of fruit instead). I recommend this simple recipe to everyone! Thanks Kraft!

Very light and fluffy...not too sweet! The chocolate drizzled over the strawberries adds a great flavor!

very creamy and light for summer, I made the day before serving and it was fine but by day 2 the cream part was starting to separate.

It was very simple to make. I could not find already crushed graham crackers so I crushed the graham cracker cookies. My family raved about it. I will definitely make it again. I would like to try it with canned peaches.
