Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 boxes of instant strawberry JELL-O mix
• 1 sliced banana
• 1 cup of sliced strawberries or frozen strawberries
• Chopped nuts (optional)
• Whipped topping (optional)
• Glass cake pan

1. Prepare the strawberry JELL-O as directed on the box. Let it cool and then pour into the cake pan.

2. Slice the banana and slice about 1 cup of fresh strawberries. You may also use frozen strawberries too.

3. Add them into the JELL-O mixture in the cake pan. Spread all of the fruit apart so that it is not just in one area of the JELL-O.

4. Pour your chopped nuts into the mixture if desired.

5. Cover the JELL-O in the pan with some plastic wrap or a lid. Let it cool for several hours or chill overnight so that the fruit sets up in the JELL-O. Spread a layer of whipped topping over the JELL-O and add additional slices of fruit to the top if you would like. This is a great summer dessert to serve at a cookout.
