Strawberries and cream cheese with a graham cracker crust and a delicious crumble topping.
What You Will Need
Graham crackers, butter, strawberry pie filling, whipped cream cheese, strawberry Jell-O, flour, sugar, and vanilla are the only ingredients you need for this easy dessert. You will need a 9×13 baking pan to bake this dessert in as well as some mixing bowls and a baking sheet. A pastry cutter would be beneficial but a regular ole fork will work too.
Step By Step Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, add the strawberry Jell-O (not prepared, straight from the package) and flour. Add slices of cold butter.
Use a pastry cutter (or fork) to cut butter into mixture until crumbly.
Add parchment paper to a baking sheet and pour strawberry crumble on top.
In another mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, sliced cold butter, and vanilla. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly. Add vanilla crumble on top of strawberry crumble on baking sheet.
Gently mix together the two crumbles with your hands.
Bake for 7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add graham crackers to a food processor and blend until crumbly. Pour crumbled graham crackers into a mixing bowl. Add melted butter.
Stir together until well combined. Press the graham cracker mixture into a greased 9×13 pan.
Bake the graham cracker crust at 350 for 10 minutes.
Remove and add strawberry pie filling on top of graham cracker crust.
Top strawberry pie filling with dollops of whipped cream cheese.
Return to the oven for 10 minutes. Spread melted cream cheese across the strawberry pie filling.
Crumble the crumble you made earlier on top of strawberry cheesecake mixture.
Enjoy!
Tips & Advice
Make sure the crumble is COMPLETELY cooled before crumbling and topping the strawberry cheesecake mixture.
You can make the crumble ahead of time. Once completely cooled, crumble into an airtight container. Store in the fridge. It will be hard when you take it out but it will still crumble.
A lot of people ask me what brand of vanilla I use. I highly recommend Goodman’s Original Vanilla Double Strength. The flavor is fantastic!
