Simple, creamy, satisfying recipe I found while looking for a way to use up some whipped topping and strawberries. I let my gelatin get too firm (all the way set, actually) but this still worked: lots of mixing with a fork broke the gelatin up into "crumbles", and then stirring in the topping I had an almost marbled white-green effect. Oh yes, as I was making this last-minute from the pantry I used the lime jello I had on hand; yummy strawberry-lime flavor that would have been good with crushed pretzels on top and a nip of tequila in the gelatin to make it "margarita". Next time, I suppose :) Thanks for sharing!

Great and simple recipe. Cut the water 1 cup and poured into graham pie crust. Top with whip cream and fresh strawberries.

My Grandma has made this for as long as I can remember, only her recipe is with Cherry pie filling and cherry jello (one 3oz box). We've always loved it and now my kids are growing up with Grandma's recipe. She always made it on holidays and for funeral's, that's a grandma for you :) I am going to have to try this strawberry and compare but i"m sure it's awesome!

Sorry, I give this one star. The dish presented itself poorly. My college age daughter said it was too much like cafeteria food, and only ate it to be polite. I used three cups of water like some suggested which it made it too hard. I made it for Thanksgiving, and took it out of town for a family gathering. It was not worth bringing it back home.

I have made this several times and love it. I did cut back the water as some others suggested. Also, I have made this the sugar free way and the regular way and could not tell much of a difference.

Great recipe and so easy! I bought a box of graham cracker crumbs, followed instructions and pressed the graham cracker crust on the bottom of the pan. There wasn't a drop left!

I did not care for this recipe. It didn't look appetizing. I was afraid to try it...it looked like red cottage cheese.

I make this recipe at a family reunion this summer and it was a hit!! Not one spoonful was left! Everyone loved it and said I have to make it again next year. The only change I made was that I added sliced bananas to the recipe. It was delicious!
