A long time summer family favorite – Blue Berries, Strawberries, Cool Whip and Pound Cake – Easy for all generations to enjoy and create their own variations. You don’t need to be the Barefoot Contessa to create one 🙂
We make them for Memorial Day, Flag Day and the Fourth of July. You can adjust the size as needed for your crowd. We have even been known to make a single one using Cream Cheese on Portuguese Bread Toast.
Ingredients – for 15 Servings – Takes about 15 minutes
One Pint of Strawberries
1/3 cup of blueberries
1 Sara Lee Pound Cake – thawed – cut into about 10 slices
1 Tub of Cool Whip – thawed
Directions – use a 12 x 8 Baking dish
Cut Strawberries into Halves – Tops off too
Line the Bottom of the pan with the sliced Pound Cake
Top the Pound Cake with a layer of Cool Whip
Create your flag design using the blueberries for stars and the strawberries for stripes.
Refrigerate until ready to serve – Ta Da!
Variations
You can buy extra fruit and layer over the pound cake before adding Cool Whip
You can also use Whip Cream
You can also add a layer of shredded coconut to the top of the cake before adding fruit.
You can also use store bought cheese cake instead of pound cake, just cut into slices to fit your pan.
