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 used Extra Creamy Cool Whip rather than the strawberry flavor as I wanted the fresh flavor of the berries to come through. I also replaced some of the liquid from the ice cubes with more fresh strawberries (juice and mashed berries). Truly excellent. Light and delicious and very easy to make.
