Strawberry Torte

One of the easiest dessert I like whipping atthe last minute provided strawberries are in season. Make sure to make this the day or two upon purchasing strawberries for they may easily bruise and be soft. 

Ingredients:

Fresh ripe strawberries

Ready made Torte

Jello

water

Procedure:

1. Wash strawberries and cut top part of crown to flatten it. 

2. Prepare red jello as per box instructions.

3. Line top of ready made torte with cut up strawberries, crown facing down. 

4. Pour cooled red jello on top and of torte / strawberries and leave in fridge to set.

Serve with whipped cream on top. 

You can adapt this same recipe using different fruits but using clear jello.
