Ingredients

– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups whipped topping (thawed, such as Cool Whip)

Instructions
Creating your No Bake Strawberry Jello Lasagna is a breeze if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix well until all crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Press the Crust: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan, making an even layer. Set aside.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until fully combined.
4. Spread Cream Cheese Layer: Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
5. Prepare the Jello: In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well.
6. Layer the Strawberries: Arrange half of the sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
7. Pour the Jello: Gently pour the prepared Jello over the strawberries, covering them completely.
8. Add More Layers: Once the Jello layer is set for about 30 minutes, spread the remaining whipped topping over it, smoothing it out.
9. Final Strawberry Layer: Top with the remaining fresh strawberries for a beautiful finish.
10. Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow all layers to set properly.
