STRAWBERY SHORTCUTS

Category: Layered Desserts

1 frozen pound cake, defrosted
1 envelope (1 tbsp) unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup water
1 small pkg instant lemon pudding
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 egg white, unbeaten
1 ping strawberries, sliced
1 (7 oz) can refrigerated whipped light cream
Strawberries, garnish

Cut pound cake lengthwise into 2 layers and arrange side-by-side in an 8 inch square cake pan (cut sides up).

In a saucepan, soften gelatin in water; dissolved over low heat; set aside.

Prepare pudding following package directions except reduce milk to 1 3/4 cups. Beat in dissolved gelatin and lemon juice. Let set for 5 minutes. Add egg white and beat on high for 5 minutes. Fold in strawberries and pour over cake. Chill until firm enough to cut, at least 1 hour.

To serve, cut into squares and top with whipped cream and strawberries.
