I have used sugar free jello and strawberries. I have also served as a congealed salad.

I made this dessert recipe a couple of weeks ago just to try it. I took some to work and had my co-workers requesting me to make them one for them. I have since made six of these desserts. I would say that qualifies this dessert as a keeper!
