My grandma used to make a strawberry dessert and I would love to have the recipe. I know it had three layers. The top was straberries in jello i think, then a cream cheese layer, then a gram cracker layer on the bottom. Im not really sure what all was in it and i would love to make it for my children. thanks for your help!
