Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake
Hey there, dessert lovers! If you're looking for a showstopper that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the sweetness of fresh strawberries, this Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake is just what you need! It’s light, fruity, and absolutely delicious! 🍓✨
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Strawberry Jelly Layer:
• 1 packet strawberry-flavored jelly (gelatin)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup cold water
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even layer. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set. 🥄❄️
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Then stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, mixing until it’s fluffy and delightful. Spread this luscious filling evenly over your chilled crust and let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. 🍰🧁
3. Prepare the Strawberry Jelly Layer: In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry jelly in 1 cup of boiling water. After it’s all mixed up, add 1 cup of cold water and stir well. Allow the mixture to cool a bit but don’t let it set just yet. Next, arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cheesecake layer and carefully pour the cooled jelly over them, making sure to cover everything. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours until that jelly is fully set! 🍓🥄
4. Garnish & Serve: When you’re ready to serve, add a garnish of fresh mint leaves and a light dusting of powdered sugar for that extra pop! Slice it up and watch everyone’s faces light up with joy as they dig in! 🍃⭐️
