Oh my, this is delicious! The "cake" (we always referred to this type dessert as icebox pie) is stand alone wonderful and does't need the strawberry sauce, in fact I preferred it without. This dessert is also beautiful, and much less complicated than it looks, making it perfect for a BBQ or dinner party. The hitch is you have to let it sit out about 5-10 minutes and then serve fast! I didn't want to serve it straight out of the freezer and I didn't want it to melt on the plate with either. Another hint - it is much easier to store it away (in the freezer) if you don't get fancy with the meringue (Sweet M. just spreads it evenly a top the cake). I made little tufts and curly cues and then had to wrap very carefully as not to squish. I thought I was being so cute, hah! Can be made ahead of course since it lives in the freezer anyway.
