Is there a way to make this just a little thicker and hold together as in a mold? -
I’m making a banana cream cheesecake, and part of the topping is banana Bavarian cream. Think I could use bananas instead of strawberries for this recipe? -
Did anyone else's turn out runny? Since I want to put it inside a crepe, I kind of need it to be set...fairly well.

I've been making this for years. One of my favorite recipes! I always double the recipe. If I use fresh strawberries I cut back on the boiling water then add ice to the dissolved gelatin. Then I just put everything in the blender. Can't get any easier!

Super quick, light, fluffy and it tastes like strawberries. Whats not to love? :D -
What a lovely dessert, light, flavorful and refreshing. Just a perfect ending to our heavy meal. It was quick and easy to make with great results. Pretty to look at also. I love that it uses ingredients that I always have on hand. Next time I will add some sugar to the mix. I used berries that I picked and froze this summer. Thanks for sharing another tasty treat Teresa. -
Great warm weather dessert, although I think we snacked on it to a point where there was little left for dessert, but then, I've always been a firm believer that desserts are at their greatest when snacked on or served BEFORE dinner! Anyway, this was wonderful, for sure, especially if you're like we are & love strawberries! Refreshing & simple! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag]
