1549

This easy no-bake Strawberry Delight is flavourful, light, and creamy.

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

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 the sliced strawberries evenly on top of the frozen crust. Plate the dish into the refrigerator while preparing the rest of the dish.

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.

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.
