Ingredients
Crust Ingredients:
1 lb vanilla cream cookies (about 34 cookies, divided) – These cookies form the base of the cheesecake. Their creamy vanilla flavor pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the strawberries and the richness of the cheesecake filling.
6 tablespoons butter, melted – The butter helps to bind the crumbs together and gives the crust a rich, buttery flavor.
Filling Ingredients:
1 small box (3.3 oz) strawberry gelatin – The strawberry gelatin provides a burst of fruity flavor that infuses the cheesecake with a vibrant strawberry taste.
1 cup boiling water – The boiling water helps to dissolve the gelatin and make it easy to mix into the filling.
2 bricks (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened – Cream cheese is the star of the cheesecake filling, giving it that smooth, rich texture and tangy flavor that we all love.
3/4 cup granulated sugar – The sugar adds sweetness to balance the tartness of the cream cheese and enhances the overall flavor of the cheesecake.
2 cups heavy whipping cream – The heavy cream is whipped into stiff peaks, adding a light and airy texture to the filling.
1/2 cup powdered sugar – The powdered sugar helps sweeten the whipped cream, giving it a smooth texture and a delicate sweetness.
