Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix make in a 9 x 13 pan, according to package directions
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips
  • 3 oz strawberry Jell-o
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 20 oz fresh strawberries diced, plus a few for garnish
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Using a 9x13 pan, go ahead and make the white cake according to the directions on the box. After it's done, let it cool off for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Grab a wooden spoon by the bottom and using the handle, poke holes in the cake. Space them about an inch apart. Try to go about halfway down. That's the ideal depth.
  • Using a microwave-safe bowl, it's time to mix the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat the mixture until it's smooth and combined nicely.
  • In a separate bowl, make the strawberry Jell-o. Make sure it's completely dissolved. Once it is, mix into the white chocolate-condensed milk mixture. Pour that over the top of the cake and make sure that it fills the holes you made earlier.
  • In a chilled bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  • After the cake has completely cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of it.
  • However you wish to do it, arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream layer.
  • To ensure the maximum flavor possible, it's best to put the cake in the fridge for 6-8 hours, the longer the better. The longer it chills, the more decadent it becomes!
