My bestie Diane, shared this recipe with me. Every year at Christmas when she attends the family get-together, they always request for her to bring this dish and there’s never any leftovers. It’s now one of my family’s favorites as well. The crunchy, buttery crust, creamy center, strawberry jello and whipped topping is like a party in your mouth! You’re gonna love it!
