Mouthwatering Mondays- Creamy Strawberry Jello

Gather your kiddos around to make this easy side dish. As a kid I loved to add the ice cubes, unwrap the cream cheese, and of course the best part, lick the blender container after it was done!

3 oz pkg Strawberry Jello
1 c boiling water
6 ice cubes
1/2- 1 cup frozen strawberries (optional)
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese
1 1/2 cups cool whip

In blender mix together jello and boiling water until dissolved. Add other ingredients one at a time and blend until smooth. Pour into a casserole dish immediately and chill until firm.
