Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 6 oz Strawberry Jello Mix Ensure you use a 6 oz package for optimal sweetness and color.
  • 8 oz Cool Whip or True Whip This adds a light and creamy texture; try whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries These offer juicy bites; frozen strawberries can work if thawed and well-drained.
For the Top Layer
  • 3 oz Additional Strawberry Jello Mix Use a 3 oz package to create a luscious top layer.
  • 1 cup Boiling Water Essential for dissolving the Jello mix.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 oz of strawberry Jello mix with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes until the Jello is completely dissolved.
  2. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator, allowing the Jello to chill for approximately 30 minutes.
  3. Once the Jello has slightly set, gently fold in 8 oz of Cool Whip into the softened Jello.
  4. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Pour the Jello-Cool Whip mixture into the pan evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the top layer by mixing 3 oz of strawberry Jello with 1 cup of boiling water; stir until dissolved.
  6. Once cooled, carefully pour the top Jello mixture over the layered cake in the springform pan. Return the pan to the refrigerator to chill for about 3 hours.
  7. When fully set, gently remove the sides of the springform pan and slice into wedges.
