Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of berry-flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 package of cream cheese (8 oz)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Graham crackers or sponge cake
- Fresh berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Set the gelatin: In a mixing bowl, combine the berry-flavored gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water. Pour into your dish and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm.
- Whip the cream cheese: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until airy.
- Make it creamy: Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture.
- Layering magic: In a 9×13 dish, lay graham crackers or sponge cake. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture, then half of the gelatin cubes. Repeat with remaining mixtures for a marbled effect.
- The finishing touch: Top with fresh berries if desired. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Cut into squares and enjoy!
