Ingredients

Base

  • 13 oz angel food cake

Strawberry Mixture

  • 3 oz strawberry Jell-O powder
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed, stems removed, and cut into quarter size pieces
  • 8 oz Cool Whip

Topping

  • 8 oz Cool Whip (additional for topping)
  • Optional: Additional fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut Angel Food Cake: Using a long serrated knife, cut the angel food cake into 1 to 2-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for uniform layering.
  2. Arrange Cake Pieces: Evenly spread the angel food cake cubes over the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan to form the dessert base.
  3. Prepare Jell-O Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry Jell-O powder with 1 cup boiling water. Whisk thoroughly until the Jell-O dissolves completely.
  4. Cool the Mixture: Add 1/2 cup of ice to the Jell-O mixture and stir until the ice melts. This cools the mixture to prevent over-softening the strawberries.
  5. Add Cool Whip: Stir in one 8 oz container of Cool Whip into the cooled Jell-O mixture. Whisk until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  6. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the quartered strawberries into the creamy Jell-O mixture to distribute them evenly without crushing.
  7. Assemble the Dessert: Pour the strawberry and Jell-O mixture evenly over the angel food cake cubes in the pan, ensuring all cake pieces are moistened.
  8. Chill: Place the assembled pan in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is fully set and the flavors meld.
  9. Add Topping: Before serving, spread the remaining 8 oz container of Cool Whip evenly over the top of the chilled dessert for a creamy finish.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with additional fresh strawberries. Cut into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use a serrated knife to prevent squishing the angel food cake when cutting.
  • Chilling the dessert sufficiently is key for the Jell-O mixture to set properly and for optimal texture.
  • Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen, but be sure to thaw and drain excess moisture to avoid making the dessert watery.
  • This dessert is best served within 24 hours for freshness and optimal texture.
  • For a festive touch, garnish with mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
