How To Make strawberry twinkie cake...cin
-
Step 1Mix Jello with 2 cups hot water. Stir until completely dissolved, then pour in 1 cup "very cold" water (or use strawberry soda). Pour over Twinkies (already in pan) and put in the refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. NOTE: Let me tell you here, I would let the Jell-O on the twinkies set up in the frig longer than the 30 min's suggested, before adding the other layers. I was even thinking about letting the Jell-O set up some, then pushing the twinkies down into it, before starting to build the other layers. It stayed just a little "wetter" than we liked.
-
Step 2Mix the vanilla pudding as directed (I use the shaker method). Spread over the set Twinkie mixture.
-
Step 3Top with whipped cream or cool whip. Put back in the refrigerate until set or until ready to serve.
-
Step 4NOTES: for alterations Substitute pound cake or loaf style angel food cake for the Twinkies (cut into slices). Spread 2 cups fresh or frozen (defrosted) sliced strawberries over the Twinkies/cake slices, then pour on the Jello. Now finish with rest of the directions right above. Also, you can cut this down by using less Twinkie cakes and make it in a 9"x9" square pan....just don't forget to ♥START WITH YOUR TWINKIE LAYER♥
