No Bake Strawberry Lasagna is a cool, creamy layered dessert that's going to knock your socks off! This sweet treat is easy to make and sure to impress!
Ingredients
- 1 box (3 ounce) strawberry gelatin mix
- ⅔ cup boiling water
- 1 cup ice-cold water
- 3 containers (8 ounce each) Cool Whip, thawed
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 16 ounce fresh strawberries, chopped or halved, for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberry gelatin with boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then add in the cold water and mix until combined. Allow to cool about 15 minutes.
- Once cooled, fold in 1 container of Cool Whip. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press into the bottom only of a 13x9 baking dish. Freeze crust for about 15 minutes, while the strawberry layer is cooling in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add in one container of Cool Whip and blend until combined. Spoon this layer over the cold graham cracker crust.
- Remove the strawberry layer from the refrigerator and spoon over the cheesecake layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
- When ready to serve, spread the last container of Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with strawberries. Serve cold.
Notes
- Store: Keep lasagna covered and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Cover with plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator.
- Swap out the Cool whip for our homemade stabilized whipped cream instead.
- Use softened cream cheese for a creamy, smooth filling. Be sure to choose the block of cream cheese, not the spreadable kind in a tub.
- Be sure to chill the layers. The strawberry layer needs to chill for 30 minutes to set up to the right consistency before you layer it into the lasagna. The crust also needs about 15 minutes in the freezer to set up firmly.
- Swap out the crust. Instead of a graham cracker crust, feel free to use Golden Oreos or Butter Cookies as the base of the lasagna. Or try it with an Oreo pie crust for a chocolate twist.
- Change up the flavor! Instead of strawberry, choose a different flavor gelatin and use that fruit for topping the lasagna.
