Instructions
Creating the Strawberry Lemonade Lasagna is a delightful process. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Whipped Topping: Fold in the whipped topping and lemonade concentrate until well incorporated. Set aside.
3. Dissolve the Gelatin: In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Mix thoroughly until fully dissolved.
4. Add Cold Water: Stir in 2 cups of cold water into the gelatin mixture, and let it sit for a few minutes.
5. Layer the Graham Crackers: In a rectangular dish, layer the graham crackers at the bottom, covering the entire surface.
6. Cream Cheese Layer: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham crackers evenly.
7. Add Strawberries: Pour half of the strawberry puree over the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle sliced strawberries on top.
8. Second Graham Cracker Layer: Layer more graham crackers on top of the strawberry layer.
9. More Cream Cheese: Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
10. Final Strawberry Layer: Pour the remaining strawberry puree and layer the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
11. Top with Gelatin: Finally, gently pour the strawberry gelatin mixture over the entire dessert, ensuring an even coverage.
12. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the dessert to set properly.
