Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200 g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 225 g cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (for thinning, if needed)
- 1 box (3 oz / 85 g) lime Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 box (3 oz / 85 g) cherry Jello (or strawberry)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- Red, white, and green sprinkles
- Optional mini holiday candies
Instructions
- Prepare the graham cracker crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a square baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped heavy cream until well combined.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust evenly.
- For the green gelatin layer, dissolve the lime Jello in 1 cup of boiling water, then add ½ cup of cold water. Allow it to cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake layer. Refrigerate until set.
- For the red gelatin layer, dissolve the cherry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water, then add ½ cup of cold water. Once the green layer is set, pour the red gelatin over it and refrigerate until fully set.
- Once set, cut into squares and decorate with sprinkles and optional mini holiday candies before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to let each layer set completely before adding the next layer.
- For a firmer cheesecake, you can add more whipped cream or reduce the milk.
- Feel free to customize the gelatin flavors based on your preference.
