    box instant vanilla pudding
  • 2 c
    whipped cream-or-cool whip (more if you like, and we do)

How To Make strawberry twinkie cake...cin

  • poured the Jell-O over the Twinkies...pix by CinStraw
    1
    Mix 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.

    NOTES: 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♥
