Strawberry Mousse

3/4 cup boiling water
1 pkg (4 serving size) strawberry s/f gelatin
1 cup ice cubes I would maybe use smaller cubes or try to break them up some before adding
1 1/2 cups thawed cool whip free (I only had lite in the freezer)
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries (they were on sale at store this week..YEAH!)

For topping when serving:
1/c cup cool whip free
1/c sliced strawberries (I added a little sweet thing to the berries after slicing--they aren't very sweet this time of year

Stir gelatin in boiling water for 2 min until dissolved. Add ice cubes and stir until melted (we had 2 small pieces that would not melt so we took them out-in case it happens to you too). Gently fold in cool whip and strawberries.

Spoon into 6 dessert dishes and chill for 2 hours.

Top with remaining cool whip and strawberries just before serving.

6- 1 cup servings @ 1 pt

REVIEW
Passed the DD test with flying colors and I found it to be very tasty and light..would be perfect for summer...it is a hot pick color with lots of strawberry flavor. Makes a beautiful dessert when topped with cool whipped and sliced berries. She made them in glass dessert dishes and they are really fancy looking. Made 6 cups but you could easily add more cool whip to recipe to make it go further if you need 7 or 8 with no problem. It was actually ready for the 2 hours was up. I did cover each cup with saran wrap in fridge to keep "additional" smell or flavors from mixing with it. 24 hours later and we have none left...ANOTHER KEEPER
