Step 1: Make the Crust

- Once slightly cooled, fold in 1 cup of whipped topping and the sliced strawberries.
- Carefully spoon and spread the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Step 4: Top It Off

FAQs
Can I make Strawberry Lasagna ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, it’s even better when made the night before—it gives the layers time to set beautifully.
Can I use fresh whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Yes! Just make sure it’s stabilized (add a little powdered sugar) so it holds its shape in the layers.
What if I don’t have strawberry gelatin?
You can substitute raspberry or cherry Jell-O—or skip it and layer with fresh strawberries and jam for a more natural twist.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Not as written, but you can easily make it gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, just thaw and drain them well first to avoid making the layers watery.
How do I get clean slices?
Chill it well (overnight is ideal), and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
Can I double the recipe?
You bet! Just use a larger dish or make two pans—perfect for parties or family reunions.
