Ingredients

• Ingredients
• For the Crust
• - 16 sheets graham crackers
• - ½ cup packed brown sugar
• - 10 Tbsp. butter, melted
• - Nonstick cooking spray
• For the Filling
• - 1 (8-ounce) tube of Cool Whip
• - 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• - 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• - 2½ cups powdered sugar
• - 2 tsp. lemon juice
• - 1 (3-ounce) box strawberry gelatin (such as Jell-O)
• - 6 Tbsp. boiling water
• - 1½ cups finely chopped fresh strawberries

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

In a food processor, combine the graham crackers and brown sugar. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground. While the processor is running, slowly add melted butter and continue blending until the texture resembles coarse sand.

Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and transfer the graham cracker mixture into the pan. Use a measuring cup to press the crumbs into the bottom and about 1½ inches up the sides. Freeze for 20 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat Cool Whip and softened cream cheese together on medium speed until smooth (about 1–2 minutes). Scrape down the sides, then add powdered sugar and lemon juice. Continue mixing until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk the strawberry gelatin and boiling water together vigorously for 2 minutes until dissolved. Make sure no sugar clumps remain! Pour the gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture and beat until silky smooth. Gently fold in finely chopped strawberries.

Step 3: Assemble & Chill

Remove the crust from the freezer. Pour the strawberry filling over the crust and spread evenly using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or up to 2 days for an ultra-firm cheesecake.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Before serving, carefully loosen the cheesecake from the springform pan using a knife. Transfer to a serving plate and slice using a warm knife (run it under hot water and wipe dry for clean cuts).

Cooking Tips & Tricks

• Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: This ensures a silky, lump-free texture.
• Chill Time is Key: The cheesecake firms up better overnight, so don’t rush it!
• Strawberries Matter: Fresh strawberries work best! Frozen ones tend to release too much water.
• Perfectly Smooth Cuts: Run your knife under hot water, wipe dry, then slice.
