Taste of Home's most popular dessert of 2026 — a no-bake layered graham cracker crust with sweetened cream cheese, strawberry preserves, and a fluffy strawberry whipped topping filling.
Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
8 tablespoons butter, melted
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tub (16 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
3/4 cup strawberry preserves
1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin
1/3 cup boiling water
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries, plus more for garnish
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Fold in half the whipped topping; spread half the filling over the crust. Set remaining aside.
Spread the strawberry preserves over the cheesecake layer. Whisk the strawberry gelatin and boiling water until dissolved. Add to the reserved filling and beat until smooth. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
Spread the strawberry filling over the preserves. Spread the remaining whipped topping on top. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Decorate with fresh strawberries and cut into squares.
