Happy Mothers Day Bonita….that is what it is here in America. I was needing a cake for a friends birthday so perhaps I can make yours. Thanks. Waving to you from Michigan
HI Sue, Happy Mother's Day to you and this would make a lovely dessert for your friend. Enjoy :) Bonita
Dear Bonita, I also wish you a very Happy Mother's Day as well as Raymond a very Happy Father's Day in one month.

Happy Mother's day Bonnie!! Thank you both for stopping by and this is a lovely season dessert and one you can make and take to a pot luck event. Thank you for making our bacon cheeseburger meatloaf. Have a lovely day!!! :) Bonita

Great dessert for Memorial Day parties!!👍
Yes for sure..so refreshing and very tasty, :) Bonita
amazing treat 🍓
I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day Bonita. Hi Raymond hi Bonita. Wow what a nice dessert. That was nice of Joy to send it in and nice of you to make it for us. A recipe shower wow that would be fun to have. I don’t think I ever heard of that. It would be nice to have one for someone. This would be a great recipe to bring along to a bbq. I love strawberry desserts. Wow that looked nice and yes great dessert for strawberry season I agree. Love Graham cracker base. And I love dream whip. Thanks again Bonita. Hope you and Raymond are having a nice week.
Hi Jerri-ellen and I hope you are doing well and I've been thinking of you both!! Yes this is a lovely dessert to take to a bbq or pot luck dinner. It was lovely indeed for Joy to share her family recipe with us....I've only been to one recipe shower and that was my daughter in laws, her mom put it together for her and what lovely recipes she got. It is a lovely way to have a get together for a new couple or retirement party. Hope you have a lovely day and enjoy our NEW recipe.,...:) Your neighbour Bonita
Looks very easy and simply delicious
It is so lovely and easy to make. I hope you get to make it sometime and please followup with us. :) Enjoy Bonita
Happy Mother’s Day
Thank you :) Bonita
A fun recipe idea. Slight allergy issue so I'd substitute mangos, peaches or maybe wild cherries (often available bagged in the freezer section) and use the related Jello flavors. A cool refeshing treat.
Nice!! I believe any type of fruit would work great with this recipe....I love peaches and mangos.. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy to the fullest!! :) Bonita
Spread dream whip after jello gels
Happy Mother’s Day, Bonnie
Thank you :) Bonita
Looks delicious. Do you think it can be done with other fruits? Like raspberries?
I would say, "Why not". The raspberries are a great idea.
I'm sure it can and if you use peaches use yellow jello, or oranges use orange jello. It would be lovely!! Enjoy and thank you for stopping by!!! :) Bonita
Right now I have rhubarb that's almost ready for harvesting. I wonder whether this recipe could be altered to make strawberry-rhubarb squares. (And happy Mother's Day. 🙂)
Oh yes for sure, just cook both of them the same and only for a few minutes so you can taste both. My rhubarb is only popping through the ground. I lovely rhubarb recipes. We have so many available here on our channel if you are looking for a recipe. :) Enjoy Bonita
Sorry for my lack of knowledge. Is dream whip the same as whipped cream?
Good question!! Whipped cream is plain and no sweetener in it!! But Dream whip got a sweetener in the mixture. The end result is the same it whips the same. So you can use whipping cream if you wish, the strawberries will balance the dessert. Enjoy and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita
If I use fresh strawberries, will I need to add any liquid in the pot.
I've only used the frozen but I'm sure if you use fresh it will work the same. Cut them in half and just follow the same method. Enjoy Bonita
4:07 -- 15 ml = 1 tablespoon
Save a few crumbs to garnish top
That would look nice as well, please let me know how you enjoyed our recipe when you make it... Thank you :) Bonita
How can anyone wait overnight before slicing
Haha Right!! :) Bonita
Hi, my New Fundland friends. Happy Mothers Day to all of us, Mothers. 18 years ago, my son, who was in the service and stationed in Iraq, sent me a Mother's Day card. I was already sad as we were so far apart on this special day and was hoping that the mail brought me a Mothers Day card. Well it did and when I opened it, the card read.....To the best " step Mother" on earth. Well immediately went from sad to mad....he had crossed out with a pen the word Step....when I talked to him on his next phone call home, and I asked him, what the hell ?.... he Said all the Mothers Day cards at the PX were gone so he got that one. A Mother knows her child and he was trying to get out of his misery that I was giving him. I know exactly what he did. He just GRAB the first card he saw with the word Mother on the front, addressed it, and sent it home to me. We'll I have kept that card all these years, and I tortured him every Mothers Day since.....it's precious to me and told him not to buy me any cards as I always display the Step Mothers card every year. We are very close to each other and have a good laugh over it every year. But I will continue to torture him.....lol please have a wonderful Mothers Day Bonita.
Haha that was the best story I've heard about Mother's Day that made me laugh...so adorable. It was the though that counts for sure. But I can relate....Our oldest son Brad forgot our 25th anniversary and we were waiting his phone call all day and night!! so 11:45pm I called him and said....how was your day. He was thinking something was wrong for me to be calling him so late. He lived away and it was a time difference, But after a few minutes he said happy anniversary and haven't forgot since...haha. We understand they are busy :) Have a lovely day and Happy Belated Mother's Day my friend. :) Bonita
