🧁 Instructions

1. Strawberry Jello Base: In a mixing bowl, dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water. Add ice-cold water and stir. Refrigerate until it starts to thicken—about 20–30 minutes.
2. Crust Magic: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Chill in the fridge while you prep the filling.
3. Creamy Layer: Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in one container of Cool Whip until creamy. Spread over the graham crust.
4. Jello Fluff Layer: Fold the semi-set gelatin into a second container of Cool Whip until it’s light and pink and dreamy. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
5. Final Touch: Top with a layer of fresh strawberries, and spread the last container of Cool Whip over the top. Garnish with extra berries if desired!
6. Chill Time: Refrigerate 4+ hours, or until firm and sliceable.
