"A family favorite. We pick fresh strawberries and love to make and eat this dessert. This is just as good with fresh raspberries. In a pinch frozen berries can also be used."

July 15, 2010...This was a light dessert for the hot summer day, which we had today. I also did not take the time to strain out the seeds. I hope to keep the family out of it until Saturday night, when we are all together. Wish me luck! Made for *Please Review My Recipe 2010* game

Nice and handy recipe! I think any berries and most fruits could be used, even frozen.

Light and tasty dessert! I ran a bit short on strawberries, so I also used a handful of fresh blueberries. Used my food processor and didn't drain the seeds like others have noted making this dish even faster - DH and DS gobbled up the whole thing; I was lucky enough to get in two bites!

A very simple and lovely dish. I had to use frozen berries being after summer in Wisconsin. I cheated and used regular Cool-whip and sugar. We topped it with some Redi-Whip and pink sugar sprinkles for our Junior Girl Scout Troop meeting. They devoured it! Made and Reviewed for 123 Hit Wonders Tag - Thanks! :)

Very simple and utterly yummy. I guess I had a midnight sneaker because I was short on the strawberries this morning. I wanted 4 servings and needed 2 cups of fruit so I made up the shortfall with a fresh peach. Like 2 bleu I didn't strain the mix. I was using the food processor and just added the pudding in and whizzed it is. I whizzed in the Cool Whip too because I didn't read all of the directions so I'm sure that I lost volume but it still tastes divine. I promise that I'll be good and read all the way to the bottom of the next recipe.
