Instructions
Follow these steps to create your No-Bake Strawberry Jello Lasagna:
1. Prepare the Jello: In a bowl, dissolve the strawberry jello in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly before moving to the next step.
2. Add Strawberries: Once cooled, mix in the sliced fresh strawberries into the jello mixture. Set aside.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
4. Prepare the Crust: In another bowl, combine the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs. Mix until all the crumbs are saturated.
5. Assemble the Dessert:
– Layer 1: Press half of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust.
– Layer 2: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
– Layer 3: Pour half of the jello and strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
6. Repeat Layers:
– Layer 4: Add the remaining graham cracker mixture on top of the jello layer.
– Layer 5: Spread the rest of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the surface.
– Layer 6: Finish with the remaining jello mixture, ensuring even coverage.
7. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set properly.
8. Serve: Once chilled, slice the lasagna into squares. Drizzle with strawberry puree if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch.
