Strawberry Cream "Cake"

Though it looks like the diva of the dessert plate, this creamy treat doesn't ask for much. It's 15 minutes of prep, plus however long it takes for the applause to end.

I took this wonderful dessert to the office potluck. I was amazed at how fast it was gone. Everyone is now asking me to make it for them for several other occasions. I love it and it's so easy to make.

This is fast and easy to make, and the first one to go at a party. I am having a Luau in August and I am making this again and I am going to make another one with fruit flavored jello and crushed pineapples. Both will go quickly.

I made this recipe this past weekend, and I got rave reviews from my family! This was the first time I have ever made a "Jell-o Mold"-type dish; I was afraid of admitting to others what I had made, for fear that it was too passe. However, all who tasted it were quite pleased. My shining moment was when I unhooked the springform pan and the cake stood; I found that I am in love with my springform pan. What a wonderful summertime recipe!

This tasted great. I had a little trouble with it setting up, but everyone loved the taste. I might try it again and hope that it sets up better. But, it tasted excellent!!

INSTEAD OF STRAWBERRY JELLO I USED sugar free STRAWBERRY-BANANA. I used fat free cool whip and a premade graham craker crust - just pressed it in the bottom of the pan. Then we left off the chocolate. We took it to a pool party and everyone loved it - all ages. My 8 year old enjoyed mashing the strawberries with a potato masher. It was not quick to make, I would say prep time is closer to 25 min.
