I'm considering making this dessert. My question is -- can frozen strawberries used instead of fresh

This was very good and light! I did not use the cool whip. I doubled the amount of strawberries and used squirt cream on top of each piece. Very pretty dessert! We thought it would be nice to make it and add fresh blueberries for a red, white and blue dessert. The only thing I would do differently next time is to add a little more water, maybe 1/2 cup, as the jello part is extremely firm.

This is a wonderful recipe. I used a store bought angel food cake and sugar free jello. This is an awesome diabetic dessert. I didn't put Cool Whip on the dessert but had it available for those who wanted it. This goes in the recipe box and will be made many more times. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Hi, I am the one who posted this recipe. I just wanted to say that personally, I don't use the Cool Whip. Also, I use both a 9 by 11 inch pan and a smaller pan, like a 7 by 11 inch. That way, it seems a little more evenly spread out. Ok then, I just wanted to let you know what I myself do! Bec
