Cooking with H2O: Easy Summer Dessert

Ok so it is still spring, but I love to get ahead of myself all the time. I am always ready for the next season way in advance...sort of like the clothing stores...they've got bikinis out already...not that I'm buying one of those...I digress... ;-) Even though it is not summer yet, it is time to get ready for summer, which includes shedding the excess pounds due to hibernation and what better way to do it than with the absolutely best tasting dessert ever! I mean think about it, is there a better food combination than cool whip & cream cheese??? Add fresh summer fruit on top of that and the caramelized sugary taste of the angel food cake and you have a dessert that is just out of this world good!

This is my mom's recipe...she sure knows how to throw things together that both taste great and are good for you.

Ingredients:
Angel Food Cake Mix, Prepared
8oz Cool Whip (Lite or Free)
8oz Cream Cheese (Light or fat free works great!)
1/2 c. Splenda artificial sweetener (the kind that measures cup for cup in baking...you can use sugar or Equal instead)
2 lbs Strawberries, sliced
1 lb Blueberries, fresh

Step 1: Mix up the angel food cake & bake it.

Step 2: While things are baking, combine the cool whip & cream cheese with beaters. Add the sugar and continue to beat the mixture on medium speed until it is completely mixed. Be sure to stop and lick the beaters after you are finished with them...this is a mixture that can't go untasted!!!

Culinary Art:
(loved the swirl pattern that the beaters left in the mixture)

Step 3: Prepare your strawberries & blueberries (rinsing & cutting the strawberries) while the angel food cake is baking.

Step 4: Take the angel food cake out of the oven. Place it upside down on a glass so that it doesn't fall flat.

Make sure it is done. It should be brown on the top...I love undercooked cookies, brownies, etc., but undercooked angel food cake is absolutely disgusting!
