3 CupsWater (2 hot, 1 cold)
1 (10 oz) pkgFrozen Strawberries, thawed
1 large (8 oz) pkgCool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in 2 cups of hot water. Stir in 1 cup of cold water. Add the thawed strawberries and their juice.
  2. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it set partially (it should be the consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
  3. While the Jello is setting, tear or crumble the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and spread them in a 9x13 inch pan.
  4. Once the Jello is partially set, use a whisk or spoon to break it up. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is uniform.
  5. Pour the creamy Jello mixture over the crumbled angel food cake. Gently stir to make sure the cake pieces are coated, then use a spatula to flatten and smooth the top.
  6. Refrigerate for several hours, or until the dessert is fully set.
