Description

A delightful dessert combining creamy cheesecake with cookie crunch and vibrant strawberry flavor, perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb vanilla cream cookies (about 34 cookies, divided)
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 small box (3.3 oz) strawberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 bricks (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 10 strawberry wafer cookies (about 4 oz)
  • About half a small tub of whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Place 26 of the vanilla cream cookies into a food processor and pulse them until they form fine crumbs.
  2. Add the melted butter and process it again until it reaches a crumbly, wet sand-like texture.
  3. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 10-inch springform pan to create a solid crust.
  4. Pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set.
  5. Combine the boiling water with the strawberry gelatin, stirring for about two minutes until it completely dissolves, then let it cool slightly.
  6. Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, setting this aside.
  7. Beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, scraping down the sides to incorporate everything.
  8. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese until fully combined.
  9. Mix the other half with the cooled gelatin until smooth.
  10. Pour half of the strawberry mixture onto the chilled crust and freeze it for another 15 minutes to set.
  11. Layer the cream cheese mixture on top, followed by the remaining strawberry mixture.
  12. Crush the remaining vanilla cream cookies and strawberry wafers to sprinkle on top.
  13. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving.
  14. Top with whipped topping before serving, if desired.

Notes

For extra visual appeal, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the crushed cookies before sprinkling them on top.
