Ingredients

1 pkg

(10 oz.) prepared angel food cake

1/2 cup

boiling water

1/2 cup

ice cubes

1 cup

chopped fresh strawberries, divided


Instructions

Step 1

Place cake on serving plate. Cut 3/4-inch-thick horizontal slice from top of cake; set aside. With small knife, cut 1-inch-wide and 1-inch-deep tunnel inside center of cake, being careful to not cut through to bottom or sides of cake. Remove and save cutout for snacking or other use.

Step 2

Add boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough cold water to ice to measure 3/4 cup; stir into gelatin until ice is completely melted. Remove 1/2 cup gelatin; place in separate medium bowl. Add COOL WHIP; whisk until blended. Refrigerate 10 to 15 min. or until thick enough to spread. Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining plain gelatin 5 to 10 min. or until thickened.

Step 3

Stir 3/4 cup strawberries into thickened plain gelatin; spoon into tunnel of cake. Replace top of cake. Frost cake with COOL WHIP mixture. Garnish with remaining strawberries before serving.
