No-Bake Strawberry Jello Lasagna 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter and sugar.
   • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a smooth, even crust. Use the back of a spoon to compact the crumbs. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other layers.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
   • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated and light.
   • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Return the dish to the fridge to set while you prepare the strawberry Jello layer.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Jello Layer:
   • In a medium bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the Jello powder is completely dissolved.
   • Add 1 ½ cups of cold water to the Jello mixture and stir. Allow the Jello to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
   • Once the Jello is slightly cooled, gently stir in the sliced strawberries. Pour the Jello mixture over the cream cheese layer in the dish, making sure to spread it evenly. Return the dish to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is set.
4. Assemble and Serve:
   • Once the Jello layer has fully set, garnish the dessert with fresh strawberry slices and a dollop of whipped cream (if desired) for added indulgence.
   • Slice into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing and satisfying treat!

Tips and Variations:

• Fruit Variations: If you’re not a fan of strawberries, you can use other fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or peaches for a delicious variation. Just make sure to choose fruits that complement the Jello flavor.
• Make it Even Lighter: For a lighter version, you can swap out the cream cheese layer for Greek yogurt or use low-fat whipped topping.
• Layering Options: Feel free to get creative with the layers. For an extra crunchy layer, try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of coconut flakes between the layers.
• Make Ahead: This dessert is perfect for making ahead! You can prepare it a day or two in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
