Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar.
Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
2. Make the Cream Layer
Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Fold in whipped topping.
Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Layer
Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water. Stir well.
Add cold water and let it cool slightly (should still be liquid but not hot).
Arrange sliced strawberries over the cream layer.
Gently pour gelatin over strawberries.
Refrigerate until gelatin is fully set (about 2–3 hours).
4. Top and Serve
Spread remaining whipped topping on top.
Garnish with extra strawberries.
Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving for best flavor.
