SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY "SHORTCAKE" DESSERT

Sugar-Free Strawberry

This is sooooo easy and light - and YUMMY!! For the 4th, I added the layers of blueberries and blue Jello, but I usually just use strawberries. When I got this recipe, it called for regular cakes and Jello, but because there are some diabetics in my family, I tried using the sugar-free angel food cakes (Walmart) and Jello - no one can tell the difference. Everyone loves it and because it is so easy to do, it is one of my all-time favorites! The recipe as follows is for a 9 X 13 pan.

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 sugar-free angel food cake, tear into bitesize pieces (I always use the ones from the store bakery)
1 (5/8 ounce) box sugar-free strawberry gelatin
1 quart strawberry, sliced
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip, lite

Steps:

Make your Jello, according to the "quick set" directions. Place in refrigerator. Clean and slice the strawberries and add to the Jello.
Put back in the fridge, but do not let set completely. You want it to
be soft enough to spoon over the cake.
In a 9 X 13 pan, put a layer of the cake pieces - enough to cover the pan.
Spoon half of the strawberries and jello over the cake pieces.
Spread a layer of the Coolwhip over the strawberries and Jello.
Put another layer of the cake, Jello and strawberries and Coolwhip.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Will be set in 45 minutes or so.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a drinking glass or a cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits.
To make sure the biscuits are cooked through, bake them until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
For a richer flavor, use heavy cream or whipping cream instead of milk in the whipped cream.
If you want to make a vegan version of this dessert, you can use vegan butter and milk in the biscuits and whipped cream.
