Strawberry Cheesecake Jello Salad

I don’t know if you guys have ever tried our Raspberry Pretzel Jello Salad but it is to die for. It is seriously one of my most favorite jello salad recipes I have ever tasted, and around the holidays our family is eating it a ton.

Well that jello recipe of ours gave me inspiration to make up another jello salad that would be just as tasty. Most people are big fans of strawberry cheesecake and I figured that turning it into a jello treat would be worth a try. That is when I came up with this strawberry cheesecake jello salad. It turned out being better than I even expected!

Layers of Strawberry Cheesecake and Jello!

The layers of this Strawberry Cheesecake Jello Salad consist of a delicious strawberry jello topping, loaded with fresh strawberries. So good. Then there is a layer of a sweet whipped cream cheese that complements that strawberry topping so well. Last of all, I couldn’t leave out a yummy crust, and so obviously I made a graham cracker crust. The combination was heavenly.

My family told me I wasn’t allowed to call it a “salad” because it’s pretty much just a treat, but hey our raspberry pretzel salad is called a salad and that is just as “treaty” as this recipe. So I’m going with the Strawberry Jello Cheesecake as a salad!

If you’re in charge of the jello or a salad (or dessert!) at your family Thanksgiving dinner, then give this jello cheesecake recipe a try.

• 1 cup sugar
• 12 oz cool whip
• 2 sleeves graham crackers
• ½ cup butter
• ⅓ cup sugar

Instructions

1. CRUST:
2. First make the crust by finely crushing the graham crackers. (I use my magic bullet for this, but you can use a food processor, or a ziploc bag and rolling pin as well)

5. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan

8. In a medium sized bowl combine the sugar and cream cheese. Mix together with a hand mixer til well blended.
9. FOLD in the cool whip.
10. Spread over the cooled graham cracker crust.
11. JELLO TOPPING:
12. Boil two cups of water. (I always do this in the microwave to save time)
13. In a medium sized bowl combine the jello and hot water til it dissolves.
14. Add in the thawed frozen strawberries. (I just put the tub of berries in the fridge when I come home from the store so they are ready to use when I make the jello)
15. Pour the jello mixture over the cream cheese layer.
16. Place in the fridge for 4 hours before serving
