- In another bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom of your dish to form the crust.
Assembly
- Spread the cream cheese and Cool Whip mixture over the graham cracker crust.
- Carefully pour half of the cooled strawberry Jello over the cream cheese layer.
- Repeat the process by adding another layer of the graham cracker crust, cream cheese mixture, and remaining Jello.
Chilling
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator, allowing it to chill and set for about 2 to 4 hours.
- Before serving, elegantly arrange sliced fresh strawberries on top.
