This is delcious and one that gets requested often. A great summer time dessert that's refreshingly light. Different colors of jello would work perfectly for any occasion. Red and blue for 4th of July, red and green for Christmas, etc. etc. :-)

Very moist and light! I decorated the top with sliced fresh strawberries and it came out beautiful.
