Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This recipe is so simple and delicious! The recipe is one that I got from The Georgia Farm Bulletin. When my sweet mother was alive, she got their bulletin each month. Strawberries are plentiful and sweet at this time of year. I needed something quick (and yummy) for a covered dish tonight. I decided to make this. I bet I won't be bringing leftovers home. I think you could use frozen strawberries if fresh aren't available.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This no-bake strawberry dessert will be a crowd-pleaser and satisfy a sweet tooth without being too heavy or rich. Easy to make, it's great for any summer occasion. The combination of sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and whipped topping creates a light and creamy filling with a hint of citrus flavor. It pairs well with the fluffy angel food cake. Fresh strawberries add a burst of flavor and color to this simple dessert.
