Convenience items such as store-bought angel food cake, frozen strawberries and instant pudding mix make preparing this refrigerated delight as simple as can be. I whip up this refreshing strawberry dessert all year round. It's particularly attractive when served in a glass dish. —Sherri Daniels, Clark, South Dakota

My husband loves this dessert! It is very easy to prepare. I like that it is a light and cool dessert low in calories. I'll probably make it quite often and would like to try it with banana or french vanilla pudding.

This is a wonderful recipe! Used this for a church dinner and everyone loved it! The only suggestion I would make is use fresh strawberries. If you are lucky enough to have any left over, it makes the cake to soggy.

This was really good. It's also really yummy when you make it with bananas instead of strawberries.

RE: No Bake Strawberry Dessert

I really like this easy and so good recipe. I have made it for my family and for 2 family reunions and been asked for the recipe at each reunion. This is really a keeper and a plus for diabetics.
