Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • For the Cheesecake Layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping
  • For the Strawberry Layer
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 package strawberry gelatin mix
  • 1 cup hot water
  • For the Topping
  • 2 cups whipped topping
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Fresh strawberry slices

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to create an even layer.
  3. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling layers.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
  6. Fold in the whipped topping gently until light and fluffy.
  7. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust layer.
  8. In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin mix in hot water and let it cool slightly.
  9. Fold sliced strawberries into the cooled gelatin mixture.
  10. Carefully spoon the strawberry mixture over the cheesecake layer and spread evenly.
  11. Refrigerate the dessert for about 1 hour so the strawberry layer can begin to set.
  12. Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the chilled strawberry layer.
  13. Garnish with crushed graham crackers and fresh strawberry slices.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 4 more hours, or overnight, until fully chilled and firm.
  15. Slice into squares and serve cold for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly before adding it over the cheesecake layer.
  • Chill the dessert long enough for clean slices.
  • Full-fat cream cheese gives the richest texture.
  • Keep the dessert refrigerated until serving.
  • Graham cracker crumbs add buttery crunch to the layers.
  • Overnight chilling gives the best flavor and texture.
