Strawberry Delight

11 Apr

A simple, light dessert that is super tasty. Perfect for a summertime picnic.

One of my neighbors growing up makes this dessert dish all time, and I was really happy when I found the recipe in one of my cookbooks.  It is very light, making it perfect for a hot summer dessert when cakes can be a bit heavy.  It reminds me of strawberry shortcake, and is great to bring to summer picnics and barbecues.
