- Serves:
-
10-12
ingredients
- 1 (6 ounce) package strawberry gelatin (the large box of Jell-o)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups cold water
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, halved and sliced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- Dissolve the contents of the large package of Strawberry Jell-o (you could use 2 packages of the normal size of jell-o if your store doesn't carry the big package) in two cups of boiling water. Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cups cold water and mix well.
- Remove 2 1/2 cups of mixture and chill (keep the rest at room temp as you don't want it to chill and start to set).
- When chilled mixture has partially set, add a pint of fresh strawberries, halved and sliced. Pour into a 6-cup mold (Emila used the classic tupperware ring mold).
- Chill until set but not firm.
- Beat 8 oz softened cream cheese, gradually adding reserved jello mixture plus 1 tsp vanilla. Spoon over strawberries in mold.
- Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
- Unmold to serve and place on a round serving platter.

We have enjoyed this very much, Lennie! I cut the calories and fat some by using a 6 oz. box of the sugar-free Jell-o, Splenda instead of sugar, and 8 oz. of fat-free cream cheese. It made an guilt-free treat which DH particulary liked, since he had two helping of this!;)I also made it in a 9 inch square pyrex pan, since I didn't think my ring mold was large enough.Thanks for posting this recipe!
