It’s no secret that I LOVE summer.  It’s my absolute favorite time of year!  I just can’t get enough of the warm weather, swimming, barbequing, summer parties, spending LOTS of time outside in the sun….I just adore it!

One other thing I really enjoy about summer are the refreshing, super yummy desserts.  I have two that are my favorite.  The first is an Oreo ice cream dessert and the second is a strawberry Cool Whip dessert.  Today I’ll be sharing the strawberry Cool Whip dessert with you.  I’ll do a post on the Oreo dessert another day.

The original recipe for this dessert came from Wegmans grocery store.  I use their recipe but I’ve also changed it up a bit at times. Today, we’ll go with the original recipe.

Here’s what you’ll need:

One container of Cool Whip**

one package of strawberry Jell-O

one package of frozen strawberries

**(In the picture is the large double size Cool Whip because I was making a double recipe. But, for a single recipe, just buy the original smaller size Cool Whip)

First, defrost the strawberries.  Follow the directions on the package for defrosting instructions.

Next, put Cool Whip into a bowl and add Strawberry Jell-O.

Mix together until well blended.

Next, mix in Strawberries.

Lastly, place in serving cups and enjoy!

See?  SUPER easy and SUPER delicious!

For variations, you can try different types of Jell-O and fruit.  I’ve made a version with Blueberry Jell-O and Blueberries that was just as yummy as the Strawberry.

Enjoy!
