| This is a dessert we make for almost all our family get-togethers. You could make this dessert virtually low cal/fat free by substituting sugar free jello, sugar free berries and fat free cool whip. There are many other combinations I have used..such as with mandarin oranges and orange jello, raspberries and raspberry jello or add sliced bananas to the recipe below and use strawberry banana jello.
<u>Strawberry Angel Food Dessert</u>
1 Angel food cake - tear into bite size pieces
2 boxes (10 oz each) frozen strawberries, thawed
1 small box strawberry jello
1 pint whipping cream
Drain berries saving juice. Pour juice into measuring cup and add enough water (if needed) to equal 1 cup, then pour into saucepan and bring to boil..add jello, stir well. Set aside to cool, checking to see when it has thickened to "jiggle" stage. Beat cream till stiff. Fold in jello and drained berries. Place layer of cake in bottom of bowl then alternate jello mixture with cake making several layers. Chill then serve. [img]images/smiley_icons/chef.gif[/img] |
