Okay this is not cancer related, but does everything have to be. I thought it might be nice since spring is here if we could share a favorite springish (if that is a word) recipe. So in the spirit of Spring here is my recipe, hope you enjoy it!

STRAWBERRY DELIGHT

1 round (or 2 small rectangular) Angel Food Cake
1 16 oz. Cool Whip
16-20 oz of cream cheese (softened)
3 or 4 heaping tablespoons of powder sugar
2 large baskets of strawberries
1 jar of glazed strawberry jell

Cream together: cream cheese, whip cream, powdered sugar until smooth (electric mixer can be used.) Break up Angel Food cake into small "crouton size" pieces and cream together with the above ingredients.

Spread into 9 x 13 or 10 x 15 baking dish.

Slice strawberries. In a bowl combine strawberries and jell. Spread strawberry mixture over cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate and serve.

    Yum, indeed! The recipe sounds Straw-RE-berry delish! This weekend is our county's Strawberry Festival; I should send the recipe to my daughter in culinary school so she can make it for her friends! Thanks, Re!

    I wonder
    Wonder if this recipe would work with sugar free jello instead of the glaze jell. I'm diabetic and I'm sure the glaze jell is full of sugar.

    Sounds wonderful and I think I'll try it.

    Wow - Recipes!
    Thanks, RE! I'm gonna try them both! I love angel food cake - your recipe sounds like a very different & yummy way to enjoy it. And a great dessert for backyard summer barbeques, whether hosting or bringing to.

    Cake in a mug?!? How cool is that? I'm already thinking I'll do that for guests. You know, after the meal, time for coffee & dessert. Bring the cake mugs to the table, everyone thinks it's coffee; then, tell 'em to turn turn their mugs over onto their plates! What a hoot that could be!!!

    Kind regards, Susan

    I wonder
    Jakeca I wonder if you could substitute the glaze with a jar of sugar free strawberry jam? Also what about using Splenda instead of the powdered sugar? What do you think RE?
