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.

No-Bake strawberry Dessert is realy good, I made it with Banana-cream pudding, it is easy to make and you do not have to have the oven on.

I will make this again.

This was possibly the biggest disappointment for a recipe that I had ever tried. People ate the Cool Whip and pudding part.... and threw away the cake part. The angel food cake and jello part becomes a heavy, dense glop that is similar to chewing gum. I would never, ever make it again.

I made this for Father's Day today and it was delicious! You do not suspect that it is sugar free because it has plenty of flavor! After a big meal,it was a wonderful light and tasty finish. Vivian
