This has to be one of the easiest desserts to make. Trust me, If I make this anyone can.. lol This is a favorite in our family always around Thanksgiving-Christmas time, shoot I make it year round. One year, friends made this and added Vodka instead of Water (like jello shots) except in the dessert, it was AMAZING! Totally recommend this to anyone who loves strawberries!
