List of Ingredients
Summertime Strawberry Cream Squares
1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 (3 ounce) box jello-o strawberry gelatin
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/4 cup sugar (or more for a sweeter taste)
2 1/2 cups fresh strawberry slices
2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Topping, thawed
Recipe
Prepare a 9-inch square pan.
In a bowl, combine crumbs, butter and sugar (if using);press into bottom of pan, chill.
Meanwhile, combine gelatin in boiling water with 1/4 cup sugar (or more); chill until thickened but not set.
Remove from the fridge, and fold in the strawberry slices, mini marshmallows and 1-1/2 cups Cool Whip topping.
Place the jello/strawberry mixture into prepared crust.
Refrigerate until Jello is completely set.
Just before serving garnish with additional sliced strawberries and chopped nuts if desired.
**NOTE** I have doubled all the ingredients and made in a 13x9-inch pan, when I doubled the recipe I used 3 small boxes of strawberry jello with 4-1/2 cups boiling water, just double all other ingredients, and use a large container of Cool whip topping, when mixing in the large container, you might only want to use/fold in three-quarters of it, as that is plenty for the doubled recipe. when folding in the Cool Whip topping it does not have to be completely mixed in, just enough until it is combined, the mixture might look semi "speckled" in appearance, similar to the store-bought jelly molds.
