• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tub whipped topping, divided

For the Strawberry Layer

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Lush

Start by preparing the crust. Crush the golden sandwich cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crust firmly into the bottom of a glass baking dish and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the whipped topping until light and fluffy. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie crust.

For the strawberry layer, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in boiling water and stir until fully dissolved. Add the cold water and let the mixture cool slightly. Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries.

Carefully spread the strawberry mixture over the cheesecake layer. Refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the strawberry layer begins to set.

Top the dessert with the remaining whipped topping and smooth evenly across the top.

Finish by adding extra strawberries, crushed golden cookies, and pink sprinkles for decoration if desired.

Chill for at least 4 hours before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Lush

• Let the cream cheese soften fully for a smooth filling.
• Chill the dessert long enough so the layers fully set.
• Use fresh ripe strawberries for the sweetest flavor.
• Add extra crushed cookies on top for crunch.
• Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
