"I was looking at a quart of strawberries nearing the end of their lives. I owned Cool Whip, cream cheese, and Jell-O. This came out pretty well considering I was making it up as I went along. It would easily double to a 9x13 pan for a larger group or potluck. Prep time includes allowing Jell-O to partially set, cook time is refrigeration before serving. Next time I'm going to try stirring the strawberries into the Jell-O mixture, because I think that might work better. I'm leaving it written in layers for now, however, since it's how I made it and it's what the picture reflects."
