WANTED: Strawberry recipes!

[lucypevensie]

My sister gave me 2 large bags of frozen strawberries. I know how to make shortcake. OK, what else tastes really good with strawberries besides strawberry shortcake, strawberry sauce, and strawberry pie?

 

[Miss Shelby]

This is really yummy and very easy:

8 oz cream cheese

8 oz cool whip

1/3 cup sugar

Oreo cookie pie crust.

Strawberries.

Mix the cream cheese coolwhip and sugar together and slap it into the pie crust.. top with strawberries...chill for a few hours.

To Lucy:

My aunt fixed this once, and it's incredible! She added strawberries to the jello mixture. The pretzels give it a nutty taste and texture.

Pretzel Jello

Melt butter and mix with pretzels. Spread in 9 x 12 pan and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Dissolve jello in water and let thicken some. Mix cream cheese with sugar and then add cool whip.

Just dip them in sour cream and then in brown sugar and enjoy!! Sounds kinda icky, but NO ONE who has tried these dislikes it!

To Misty:

Would that work with frozen berries? When they thaw out, they get kinda "mooshy."

I bet that's delightful with FRESH berries, though!

/me adds strawberries, sour cream, and brown sugar to grocery list...

I've had that pretzel jello, and it IS yummy! The one I had was made with cherry pie filling though. I think strawberries would be great in that!

I didn't even realize that it was frozen berries you have! It would be okay but it is meant for fresh strawberries. (fresh pineapple is also good this way)

I say if you have frozen berries try making some sorta smoothie or other frozen drink.

3 envelopes of knox unflavored gelatin

3/4 C. cottage cheese

3/4 C. sugar

1 1/2 C. water

I'll probably fix the mushroom crockpot steak some time this week, Miss Shelby. Come on over! This time, I have a large can of button mushrooms I found at the warehouse store.........AHHHHHHHHH!!

(my son doesn't like mushrooms, so we fight over the ones he picks out of his servings, LOL!)

My favorite strawberry pie

Combine 1 pkg (4-serving size) of Vanilla pudding (not instant), 1 pkg (3 oz) strawberry jello, 2 cups water and 1 tsp lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Chill until it starts to thicken. Blend in about 1 1/2 cups cool whip and 1-2 cups sliced strawberries. Pour into a baked crust (either pastry or graham cracker) Chill until set, usually about 2 hours.

This is very good. You can also use some cream cheese instead of some of the cool whip. and it works really well with a walnut crust. yummy!
