This Strawberry Jello Mold is a tasty variation to add to your holiday get togethers in place of the Orange Jello Mold.  My grown children expect to see one on the table when they return home for the holidays. 

The first step is to cut up the strawberries into bite size pieces.

Next I dumped the contents of two boxes of strawberry flavoured jello powder into a large mixing bowl.

I then poured in 2 cups of boiling water and stirred until all the jello powder was dissolved.

Next I dumped the strawberry pieces into the jello.

I then set the bowl in the fridge for about an hour and 20 minutes until it was almost set.

After removing it from the fridge I added a tub of Cool Whip to the bowl.

I used a rubber spatula to fold the Cool Whip into the jello.

I sprayed the jello mold with cooking spray before I scraped in the Cool Whip mixture.

Now I put the lid on and returned it to the fridge.  I left it to set for a couple of hours at least.  The good thing about this mold is that it can be prepared a day ahead. 

Just before dinner was served I removed the lid.

Next I inverted the mold onto a serving plate.

I removed the center piece of the mold and the jello released from the mold onto the plate.

I removed the container and set the jello mold on the dinner table for everyone to enjoy with their holiday meal!
