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

I have now made this several times, varying the fruit (and flavour of gelatin). It is very popular with my guests and family. One of my favourite combinations is to use frozen mixed berries in combination with raspberry gelatin, and using fresh raspberries as garnish on top of the dessert. Excellent recipe!

I have had so many compliments on this recipe, and this could be changed as far as what kind of pudding, what kind of fruit, what kind of Jello, I love it, and so does everyone else, I just don't know if I can print this off, and share it with eveyone where I live without causing a copyright infraction.

I made it with an angel food cake instead of the loaf. The gelatin with the strawberries when poured into the cake pieces ultimately turned it into a layer of goop. One could not discern the cake at all as it shows in the

picture. I will try it once more using the loaf.

Easy, low-cal, excellent. It also lasted well in the fridge.

Yes, I made it with Angel Food Cake.  Worked perfectly, just have to be creative when cutting the 1 inch cubes.Smile
