1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 cup cold orange juice

Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Combine orange juice and enough ice cubes to measure 1 3/4 cups. Add to gelatin.; stir until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice. Stir in liqueur if desired and orange peel. Gently stir in 2 1/2 cups of the whipped topping. Spoon gelatin mixture into prepared pan.

When ready to serve, place thawed frozen strawberries in blender container; cover. Blend until pureed; strain. Unmold terrine onto serving plate; remove plastic wrap. Decorate with remaining 3/4 cup whipped topping and fresh strawberries. Cut into slices. Spoon strawberry puree onto individual dessert plates; top with terrine slices. Makes 12 servings.
