Strawberry Delight

 Strawberry Delight – 4 super tasty layers : a graham cracker crust, a creamy cream cheese layer, a creamy strawberry layer, and then a strawberry jello topping. 

So we went strawberry pickin as a family the other day so I have to come up with all these recipes so these strawberries don’t go bad. 

We actually ended up going to a strawberry festival and didn’t realize it until we got there. 

Well, we left there with 2 lbs of strawberries and as much as I love them, there’s no way I could eat all of them in time. 

Strawberry Delight

• 12 sheets of graham crackers
• 1/3 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 3 oz strawberry gelatin
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 lb sliced strawberries

For the crust, use a food processor to combine the graham crackers, butter and brown sugar until it resembles sand. Spray a 9 by 9 dish with nonstick spray. Press the graham cracker dust into the bottom of the pan, set in the freezer to set while making the rest of the dish.

Using a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream using the whisk attachment on high speed until stiff peaks form, then transfer to a separate bowl. 

Then, in the same bowl used to beat the heavy whipping cream, cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Remove from the mixer, and fold in the whipped cream using a spatula. 

Spread half of this mixture onto the crust and place back in the freezer.

In a medium bowl, whisk the strawberry gelatin and boiling water for about 2 minutes until all of the gelatin is dissolved. Add 1/3 of the gelatin mixture into the remaining cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Spread over the plain cream cheese layer and place back in the freezer.

Toss the sliced strawberries in the gelatin, making sure they are completely covered. Pour the strawberries and gelatin on top of the strawberry cream cheese layer. Chill for about 4 hours before serving.
