Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 6 Ounces (oz) packages strawberry flavored gelatin
• 1 14 Ounces (oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 Cups flaked coconut
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.5 Cups red decorator sugar
• 0.25 Cups green decorator sugar
• 2 Ounces slivered almonds

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, blend together the strawberry flavored gelatin and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
2. Add the flaked coconut and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
3. Once chilled, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, then shape each ball into a strawberry form.
4. Roll each shaped "strawberry" in the red decorator sugar to coat evenly.
5. Dip the wider end of each strawberry into the green decorator sugar to create the appearance of leaves.
6. Insert a slivered almond into the top of each strawberry to resemble a stem.
7. Store the finished strawberries in an airtight container to prevent them from hardening. Serve when ready to enjoy.
