This easy no-bake Strawberry Delight is flavourful, light, and creamy.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and some extra crumbs for garnish if desired
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 5 tbsp butter melted
- 10 strawberries sliced (or enough to make a single layer over the graham crackers)
- 1 cup cold whipping cream chilled
- 2 8 oz blocks of cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 3.4 oz Strawberry gelatin box (will use 3 Tablespoons from this box)
- 1 8oz Cool Whip
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, almond extract and melted butter.
- Press the mixture into an 8×8 dish. Flatten the mixture using the bottom of a flat glass. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Layer Two – Strawberries
- Layer the sliced strawberries evenly on top of the frozen crust. Plate the dish into the refrigerator while preparing the rest of the dish.
Layer Three – Cheesecake
- In a large mixing bowl place the softened cream cheese, powered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice and using a hand mixer combine until light and fluffy and no lumps. Set aside.
- In a chilled medium mixing bowl place the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer on high beat the cream until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Gently add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold together with a rubber spatula. Once combined spoon half of the cream cheese/whipped cream mixture on top of the strawberries in the 8×8 dish.
- Set the other half of the mixture aside.
- Place the 8×8 dish in the refrigerator while preparing the next step.
Layer Four – StrawberryCheesecake
- In the bowl with the remaining cream cheese/whipping cream mixture add the 3 Tablespoons of dry strawberry gelatin. Using a rubber spatula gently fold in the dry strawberry gelatin until combined and solid in color.
- Spoon the mixture onto the top of the 8×8 dish.
Layer Five – Cool Whip
- Spread the Cool Whip on top of the 8×8 dish as the last layer.
- Chill at least one hour before serving.
- Garnish with sliced strawberries and graham cracker crumbs if desired
