~ 3 loaves pound cake (regular bread pan size, I buy @ Walmart)
~ 8 oz pkg gelatin
~ 1 1/2 cups boiling water
~ cold water & ice
~ 2 (12 oz) containers cool whip, separated
~ fresh strawberries (I use 2 large containers), halved
Directions:
~ Mix gelatin w/ boiling water until completely dissolved. Measure 1 cup cold water and add enough ice to make 2 cups. Add to gelatin and stir until ice is melted. Mix in all of cool whip except a little you'll set aside for the very top. Refrigerate just until thickens enough to mound (20+ minutes). Cube pound cake and layer 1/2 on bottom of trifle dish. Top with 1/2 cool whip mixture & a generous layer of strawberries. Repeat layers, BUT before adding the last layer of strawberries, top with plain cool whip. Finish off with your beautiful layer of strawberries and Wa Lah!
* Tip: When I make this, I make it the night before and it's fine in the fridge until I serve it the next day. It's even great as leftovers for a couple of days :)
