Equipment

  • 10-inch springform pan
  • Pastry bag with star tip

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 lb Vanilla Cream Cookies about 34 cookies, with a few reserved for topping
  • 6 tablespoons Butter melted

For the Filling

  • 1 small box Strawberry Jello (3.3 oz)
  • 1 cup Boiling Water
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese softened (2 bricks of 8 oz each)
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 10 cookies Strawberry Wafer Cookies about 4 oz, for extra crunch

For the Topping

  • 0.5 tub Whipped Topping thawed and placed into a pastry bag with a star tip

Instructions
 

The Crust

  • Process 26 vanilla cream cookies into fine crumbs and blend well with the melted butter.
  • Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 10″ springform pan and set in the freezer for 15 minutes.

The Filling

  • Dissolve the strawberry jello in boiling water and let it cool (do not refrigerate).
  • Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture and cooled strawberry jello in two steps.
  • Layer half of the whipped cream mixture over the crust, followed by half of the strawberry jello mixture. Freeze for 15 minutes, then add the remaining cream cheese mixture and top with the remaining strawberry mixture.

The Topping

  • Crush the remaining vanilla cream cookies and strawberry wafers. Add food coloring for a pinker hue if desired.
  • Sprinkle this crunchy mixture over the cheesecake and refrigerate for 4 hours to set.
  • Garnish with swirls of whipped topping before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling. Be gentle when folding whipped cream into the mixture to maintain its airy texture. Allow enough time for the cheesecake to set in the refrigerator for the best results.
