How to Make No Bake Strawberry Cream Bowl Cake

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin with 1 cup boiling water until completely smooth.
  2. Drain 1 pint fresh strawberries, reserving 1/4 cup of the syrup.
  3. Puree the drained strawberries in a blender until smooth. Stir the puree into the dissolved gelatin along with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to the consistency of an egg white (about 1-2 hours).
  5. While the mixture chills, cut 1 (8 ounce) package of jelly rolls into 1/4-inch slices.
  6. Line a 2-quart mixing bowl with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang to help with unmolding. Arrange the jelly roll slices close together to line the bowl.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened strawberry mixture until no streaks of white remain.
  8. Spoon the strawberry mixture into the jelly roll-lined bowl.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  10. Carefully invert the bowl onto a serving plate to unmold the cake.
  11. Garnish with additional whipped cream and serve with strawberry glaze (see instructions below).
  12. **Strawberry Glaze:** In a small saucepan, whisk together the reserved 1/4 cup strawberry syrup and 2 teaspoons cornstarch.
  13. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 1-2 minutes).
  14. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
