The first time I had this Strawberry Delight recipe I was a sophomore in college. My roommate’s sister made it and invited us over to her house to eat some. Thank goodness she did because I love it!!! This recipe is unique to other recipes I’ve seen because it calls for Dream Whip and Strawberry Danish Dessert.
You can of course substitute dream whip and use cool whip or jell-o.
But if you haven’t tried Dream Whip before I’d consider trying it because I think it makes a huge difference!
Try it and let me know what you think.
Of all the times I have made this recipe it has made the event, gather, or small get together that much better. May I just add that being known for making this delicious strawberry delight recipe will actually be amazing because it could not be easier.
If you make this once your friends will beg you to make it again, and again. And probably again. Let’s be honest, just go ahead and double the batch so everyone can have seconds, because they will ask!

This is really similar to a dessert I grew up eating. Super delicious and perfect for hotter weather. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned and will be featuring this.
We make a similar dessert here in Australia, but I’ve never used pretzels in the base. I can’t wait to try it.
Thank you for sharing this recipe at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I’m delighted to be featuring it at tomorrow’s party and pinning too!

Thanks for this post I have been looking for it, we had someone bring it to our potluck and it was great!
Mmmm – salty sweet – I love it!! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner link up!
Would I have to share with anyone or could I eat it all myself. Thanks for sharing on Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesdays.
I can’t find Danish Dessert at my grocery store, so I googled what to substitute. I’m sure it’s not the same, but the blogger said she used this many times when Danish Dessert was unavailable, with good results. This is what I found:
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
4 Tbs cornstarch
1 pkg UNsweetened Kool-Aid
(strawberry OR raspberry flavor, of course!)
2 cups cold water
fruit of your choice
Blend cornstarch, sugar, and Kool-Aid powder with a wire wisk in a saucepan (or microwave-safe pyrex glass measure). Bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. Let cool (covered with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent a skin from forming). Add fruit just before serving.
Sugar can be added (or reduced) to your personal preference. If you want a deeper red color, add a few drops of red food coloring.
My mom used to make something like this all the time and my kids loved it! I’ll have to treat them and make this for them. I never heard of Strawberry Danish Dessert either, in the South we just used Jello 🙂 but I’ll have to see if I can find it and try it with that. Sounds yummy. Found you through #bloggersgetsocial.
I haven’t made this in a few years, but I always used Jello for the topping. This is a very yummy dish, and it’s always one of the first dishes to get eaten at a party. I need to make this again soon!
Thanks Cari. This really looks good!

Oh thank you for responding Cari!
Yes, we love love this recipe. I need to make it again soon! I try to keep a couple spare boxes of Strawberry Danish Dessert so I can make it whenever.!. I’ll have to try it with Jell-o.
Can you substitute strawberry jello for the strawberry danish dessert? I’ve never seen it at my grocery store.

I’m sure you could, it would probably just have a little different flavor. I had a hard time finding it too, I left a link in the post so it’s easy to see what it looks like. Maybe ask someone at the grocery store too if they know where it is. It’s by the jell-o at my store.
Please tell me where to find this strawberry danish dessert..Ty
What is the strawberry danish dessert? Is that here in Canada or US? I have never seen it..please let me know..Ty

Really great question Dawn, I’ve added a link in the post, but here it is for you: http://www.junketdesserts.com/junketstrawberrydanishdessert.aspx
I’m not sure if it is in Canada or not. But this picture should give you an idea of what to look for at the grocery store. Let me know what you think when you try it. xoxo!
