Serving the rich, fresh-tasting dessert decorated like the flag is a great salute to the nation's independence! I used a new recipe I found and made some modifications based on tricks my grandma taught me.—Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

I made this for our family picnic today. I put it in a 13" x 9". I ended up with not enough of the cream to put the last layer on , I ended up making another 1/2 batch of the cream mixture to cover the top. It was completely gone, everyone loved it!

I have been making this for several years now, I haven't heard anyone say they did not like it.

Quick, easy and pretty. The 2 things that took the longest was washing/slicing the berries and whipping the cream.

I made this recipe for a July occassion, but I used a 13x11, to make it to look like the flag. Rave reviews by everyone. We're going to a Christmas gathering tonight and my husband is asking me to make it for that. Guess I better hurry, ya think? lol
