I had a bunch of fresh strawberries yesterday, so went looking for a recipe & spotted this one. It was fabulous!! I used the vanilla as I didn't have any lime juice/limes on hand. Brings a whole new meaning to 'strawberries & cream.' I had the leftovers for breakfast this morning (I must confess, I ate most of it myself last night) & it was even better today!! Thanks for posting... it's a simple, delicious way to use up berries!! I think it would taste great with any fruit/berries.

Mary, I loved this dessert,I couldn't wait till strawberries came into the markets so I could try it,It was worth waiting for,I didn't have a lime so I tried it with the vanilla. Next time I will try the lime. Thanks so much, Darlene Summers

This is very, very good, perhaps sinfully good. I love that at the same time it tastes tart and sweet and rich. The lime flavour is wonderful. The store was out of strawberries so I opted for Kiwi and it did the trick just fine! The only thing I will change next time is that I will prepare dessert bowls of fruit and serve them with a nice big dollop of the cream cheese dessert. So, so good. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This was SUPER easy and great tasting! I made this to go along with a cake and it was perfect. Initially I thought the lime was way too tart but when it all came together with the strawberries it was yummy!! Next time I'll try the vanilla instead of limes to see how that tastes.

YUMMMMMM!!! Who would have thought lime and strawberries would go together? I loved it! This recipe is so versatile; you could use so many different fruits and flavors(combinations), the possiblities are endless. Thanks Mary!
