Description

This festive Strawberry Jello Lasagna is a show-stopping no-bake dessert perfect for summer celebrations. With a funfetti cookie crust, a fluffy blue cheesecake layer, fresh strawberries in strawberry Jello, and whipped topping, it’s a patriotic red, white, and blue treat that’s creamy, fruity, and crowd-pleasing.


Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough (with or without sprinkles)

Blue Cheesecake Layer:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

  • Blue food coloring

Strawberry Layer:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

  • 1 (6 oz) package strawberry Jello

  • 2 cups boiling water

Topping:

  • 2 cups whipped topping

  • Red and blue sprinkles

  • Whole strawberries, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add sprinkles if desired.

  2. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.

  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and a few drops of blue food coloring.

  4. Spread the blue cheesecake layer evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.

  5. In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in 2 cups of boiling water. Let cool slightly, then fold in the sliced strawberries.

  6. Carefully pour the Jello mixture over the blue layer. Chill for 3–4 hours, or until fully set.

  7. Top with a generous layer of whipped topping. Garnish with red and blue sprinkles and whole strawberries.

  8. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.


Notes

  • Use a clear glass baking dish to showcase the colorful layers.

  • Can be made a day ahead for convenience.

  • Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for variety.
