STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE

by Gilda

This is a very easy to make summer dessert cake. In this case it’s decorated for the 4th July. Other fruit toppings and decorations can be used to change the Holiday theme, but it’s mostly for summer. And with an Happy Birthday sign, will make a perfect 4th July birthday cake, very refreshing!

Ingredients

For 12 Person(s)

  • 1 quart strawberries cut in half

  • 1 1/2 cup boiling water

    2. Add ice cubes to cold water enough to make 2 cups.

    3. Add to gelatin, stir until ice melts and refrigerate for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of an unbeaten egg white)

    4. Meanwhile, line a 13×9 inches dish with cake slices

    5. Stir sliced strawberries and 1 cup of blueberries into thickened gelatin and spoon over cake slices.

    6. Refrigerate again for about 4 hrs. or until firm
