Strawberry Jello Cheesecake is creamy, delicious, and such an easy dessert to make! This no-bake cheesecake recipe is made with an Oreo cookie crust, a cream cheese filling, and fresh strawberries with a Jello layer on top!
Ingredients
For the crust:
2 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs, about 26 Oreo cookies
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For cheesecake filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon strawberry extract
For the topping:
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced in half
1 (6 oz.) package Strawberry Jello
2 cups boiling water
Instructions
To make crust:
Finely crush the cookies in a food processor, add melted butter and blend until it's all moistened
Press crumb mixture onto the bottom of prepared 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray
Place in the freezer while you make the filling
To make cheesecake filling:
In medium bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy
In separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form
Add cream cheese mixture into beaten heavy cream mix on low speed just to combine
Add strawberry extract and beat until incorporated
Spread cheesecake filling over the crust
Set in the fridge to firm
To prepare the strawberry Jello topping:
Mix together the boiling water with the strawberry Jello until dissolved. Allow to fully cool.
Place the hulled and sliced in half strawberries over the top of the chilled cheesecake layer and pour the cooled Jello mix over the strawberries (Tip: Never pour warm Jello over the cheesecake or you'll end up with a creamy layer on top)
Return to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-4 hours or overnight until the Jello is fully set and firm.
When the topping is set and cooled run a thin knife around the sides and remove the springform pan sides
Serve
