If you know me at all you will know how much I love cheesecake, so a cheesecake made with strawberry Jello! I am in love!

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts of all time for so many reasons-the flavor is amazing, it is snap to make, it sets beautifully in the fridge and it turns out perfectly every single time!

Summer is the time for all things strawberry. The fruit vendors on the street are bustling with pints of ripe, bright red, juicy strawberries.  The best berries are the ones that you can smell before you see, the berries that, regardless of size, are firm and juicy and vibrant ruby red throughout the entire berry. Indeed, those are the kind of berries you want for this cheesecake.

How to make Strawberry Jello Cheesecake?

• To make the crust:

Finely crush the cookies in a food processor, add melted butter, and blend until it s all moistened

Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom of the 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 the cheesecake filling:

In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy

In a 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 the 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.

Helpful tips for making this Strawberry Jello Cheesecake:

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, this ensures your cheesecake will be smooth and creamy with no lumps.

Look for strawberries that are all similar in size. I like to use small to medium-sized strawberries because it makes the cheesecake easier to cut into.

While I love the look of the sliced strawberries, if you prefer you can use whole strawberries.

While I typically make this cheesecake with just strawberries, you could also try a combination of mixed berries such as blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
