Step 1

Using a long cerated knife, cut the angel food cake into 1 to 2-inch cubes.

Step 2

Evenly spread the cake pieces over the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the boiling water and the strawberry Jell-O powder.

Step 4

Whisk until the Jell-O is completely dissolved.

Step 5

Add the ice to the Jell-O mixture and stir until the ice is melted. This will help cool the mixture and prevent the strawberries from becoming too soft.

Step 6

Add one 8 oz container of Cool Whip to the Jell-O mixture.

Step 7

Whisk until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Step 8

Gently fold in the cut strawberries.

Step 9

Pour the Jell-O and strawberry mixture evenly over the angel food cake pieces in the pan.

Step 10

Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is firmly set.

Step 11

Before serving, spread the remaining 8 oz container of Cool Whip evenly over the top of the dessert.

Step 12

Garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired. To serve, cut into squares and enjoy.
