The same pigments that give strawberries and blueberries their intense colors are thought to help prevent disease. The great thing about having fruit in dessert is that it is likely to be eaten!

This dessert is fabulous. Everyone will love it! I used Splenda for the sweetener, and I made a half recipe.

Took the advice and made this with a 9 inch graham cracker crust. Mashed 1/2 the strawberries with a fork. Added to Jello mixture, and it was the right consistancy after 20 minutes to fold in the rest of the berries. Make sure to spread the cream cheese mixture up the sides also. Keeps the crust crunchy. Chill and top the berries with your choice of whipped cream. Delicious. Served to my family and they loved it! Would definitely make again, and passed this recipe on to my family. Great dessert for these hot summer days.
