¼ cup white sugar (none need if frozen sweetened strawberries are used)
½ c. boiling water
1 small carton Nutriwhip (makes 1 litre)
¼ c. icing sugar
chopped nuts, optional

Prepare angel food cake mix according to package directions. Cool. Mash half the berries and combine to saucepan with Jello, sugar and boiling water. Heat gently just until dissolved. Chill until mixture slightly thickens.

Reserve a few whole berries for garnish and slice remainder into gelatin mixture. Beat Nutriwhip and icing sugar to stiff peaks. Tear cake into 1 inch pieces. Put half of the cake cubes into glass serving dish. Cover with half of Nutriwhip. Repeat layers. Garnish with reserved berries and chopped nuts, if desired.
