Strawberry Gelatin Dessert Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + chilling

Yield: 9 Servings

40 40

Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free strawberry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
4 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1 carton (8 ounces) reduced-fat whipped topping

Directions

In a bowl, combine cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Press into a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Combine strawberries and sugar in a small bowl; let stand for 20 minutes. In another bowl, dissolve gelatin in water. Drain berries, reserving the juice; add enough water to juice to measure 1 cup. Stir berries and juice mixture into gelatin. Refrigerate until partially set.
Meanwhile, combine marshmallows and milk in a saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until blended and smooth. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Fold in whipped topping, then gelatin mixture. Pour into prepared crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm. Yield: 9 servings.
