Instructions
Creating the perfect Summer Berry Jello Lasagna involves simple steps that anyone can follow:
1. Prepare the Jello: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the jello powder in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
2. Layer the Berries: In a 9×13-inch dish, arrange the sliced strawberries and blueberries evenly on the bottom.
3. Add Jello Layer: Pour half of the cooled jello mixture over the berries. Make sure it’s evenly distributed. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until it sets slightly.
4. Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
5. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
6. Spread Cream Layer: Once the jello layer has set slightly, remove it from the refrigerator. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the jello layer.
7. Add Remaining Jello: Pour the remaining jello mixture over the cream cheese layer, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
8. Chill Until Set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the jello is fully set and firm.
9. Graham Cracker Crust Layer: If desired, prepare a crust by mixing crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press evenly into the bottom of the dish before layering the berries. This adds a delicious crunchy texture.
10. Serving Preparation: Once set, slice into squares, making sure to cut through all layers for a beautiful presentation.
These steps will guide you in creating a stunning and delicious Summer Berry Jello Lasagna effortlessly.
