Ingredients FOR THE CRUST: 12 graham cracker sheets (about 6 ½ ounces) 1/4 cup light brown sugar 6 Tbsp. salted butter, melted Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish FOR THE FILLING: 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 (3-ounce) package strawberry gelatin 1/2 cup boiling water 1 lb. strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced Directions 1 For the crust: Process the graham crackers and brown sugar in a food processor until finely ground, about 1 minute. With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted butter. Process the mixture until it is the texture of coarse sand. 2 Spray a 9-by-9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the graham cracker mixture to the dish and press the mixture into the bottom, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to make an even layer (press firmly). Freeze for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 days. 3 For the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. 4 Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in the same bowl used to beat the heavy cream (no need to wipe it clean). Beat on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from the mixer and whisk in a third of the whipped cream by hand, then gently fold in the rest using a rubber spatula. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in an even layer. 5 In a medium bowl, stir together the strawberry gelatin and 1/2 cup boiling water until dissolved, about 2 minutes. 6 Beat 1/3 cup of the strawberry gelatin into the remaining cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Spread over the top of the plain cream cheese layer. 7 Toss the sliced strawberries in the remaining strawberry gelatin to fully coat. Spoon the strawberries over the cream cheese in an even layer. Chill until set, at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours. (If chilling longer than 4 hours, cover with plastic.)
