    NO BAKE BERRIES AND CREAM CAKE — This decadent dessert starts with a store bought pound cake. Add a faux pastry cream topping, some whipped cream and fresh berries, and you have an easy but elegant summer time dessert.

    Mother’s Day is right around the corner, which means it time to start giving my husband and boys some suggestions for simple, delicious recipes so that they can make dinner while I sit back and relax. Of course, they need some dessert suggestions too!

    I’m sure they could tackle this No-Bake Berries and Cream Cake, because it’s so easy! You don’t even have to turn on the oven. To start, you just thaw a  Sara Lee frozen pound cake, then slice it and layer it in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan.

    If you have a bit of extra pound cake, go ahead and eat it! It’s delicious!

    Next, you mix up the delicious, creamy filling. First, you beat together cream cheese and vanilla pudding, then you fold in some Cool Whip Whipped Topping.

    Then you spread the cream cheese mixture over the pound cake and put the cake in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat!

    I’m going to make sure I have a Sara Lee Pound Cake and some Cool Whip in my freezer when Mother’s Day rolls around, because they’re both trusted brands that offer a delicious and simple way for my boys to make me feel special!

    To finish off your cake, you’ll need about 4 cups of fresh berries–sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are all great choices.

    I like to add the berries just before serving, since they tend to release some natural juices that can make the filling runny.

    If you know you’ll be finishing off the cake in one sitting, go ahead and cover the whole cake with berries. If you’re expecting leftovers, add the berries to individual servings. You can even add an extra dollop of Cool Whip on top, if you like!

     

    And did you know that Cool Whip can be kept in the refrigerator for two weeks after you’ve defrosted it? Not that this cake would last anywhere near 2 weeks at my house. But I can always think of something to do with extra Cool Whip!

    If you’re hoping someone will make you something delicious for Mother’s Day, I highly recommend leaving a copy of this recipe in a conspicuous location.

    And if you’re looking to surprise a special mom in your life, this beautiful cake is the perfect way to say “thanks for everything you do!”

    You can find Sara Lee Desserts and Cool Whip Whipped Topping products in the frozen foods section at your local Kroger store. Be sure to stock your freezer now so you’ll be ready to impress mom in the kitchen this Mother’s Day!
