- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry Jell-O
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
- If making a homemade crust, preheat oven to 350°F, combine 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into a 9-inch pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, pour boiling water over strawberry Jell-O powder and stir for 2 minutes until dissolved. Let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the cooled crust.
- Stir the sliced strawberries into the cooled Jell-O mixture, then pour it over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the Jell-O is completely set.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the creamy layer.
- For a firmer set, ensure the Jell-O mixture has cooled slightly before adding the fruit.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
