Strawberry Delight Ingredients

How To Make This Strawberry Delight Recipe

STEP ONE: Chill a medium and a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator.

For the Crust Layer

STEP TWO:  Melt the butter and pour it into a medium mixing bowl along with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and almond extract. Stir to combine.

STEP THREE: Transfer the crust mixture into an 8×8-inch dish. Use the bottom of a glass to press mixture evenly across the surface. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

For the Strawberry Layer

STEP FOUR: Slice ten strawberries and lay them evenly on top of the frozen crust. Put the dish into the fridge while you work on the next layer.

For the Cream Cheese Layer

STEP FIVE: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until it’s light and fluffy with no lumps. Set aside.

STEP SIX: In a chilled medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on high speed to beat the heavy whipping cream for about five minutes until stiff peaks form.

STEP SEVEN: Add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold it together with a rubber spatula.

STEP EIGHT: Spoon half of the cream cheese and heavy cream mixture on top of the strawberries in your baking dish. Set the other half of the mixture aside. Place the baking dish back in the refrigerator while you are preparing the next layer.

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Layer

STEP NINE: Take the remaining cream cheese and heavy whipping cream mixture and sprinkle the 3 tablespoons of dry strawberry gelatin over the top of the bowl. Use the rubber spatula to gently fold it into the mix until it’s completely combined and one solid color with no streaks.

STEP TEN: Spoon the mix on top of the cheesecake layer.

For the Whipped Topping

STEP ELEVEN: Spread the Cool Whip on top as the last layer.

STEP TWELVE: Chill for at least one hour before serving.
