Strawberry Whipped Sensation



4 Cups fresh strawberries, divided

1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened condensed Milk

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 tub Cool Whipped topping, Thawed, divided

8 Oreo Sandwich cookies, finely chopped

1 Tablespoon melted butter

Line 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with foil. Mash 2 cups of strawberries in large bowl. Stir in condensed milk, juice and 2 cups of the Cool Whip; pour into pan. Top with combined chopped cookies and butter; press into mixture. Cover. Freeze at least 6 hours. To serve invert onto plate. Remove foil. Frost with remaining Cool Whip. Top with remaining strawberries, sliced. Makes 12 servings. (I put mine into an aluminum bread pan so I could just throw it away and didn't have to line anything.)

I served this tonight at our Empty Nester's Family Home Evening. We had a couple who had just returned from a European Mission where they established the Especially For Youth programs and Out Reach programs for Young Single Adults. They leave in July to be Mission President and wife of the Sweden Mission. You can imagine how incredible these people are. They are Larry and Sally Anderson. It was a great evening. We had 22 people in attendance and yes, the dessert was a hit. I am not certain how the picture will turn out. But we will try. It takes about 20 minutes to make, then let the freezer do the work. It's perfect right now while strawberries are in season. And despite the picture, it looks absolutely magnificent when you serve it.
