What can I make without an oven?
No-bake desserts are an excellent option for the summer-time when you do not want to heat your oven! A few of my favorite no-bake recipes include these No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, this No-Bake Cherry Chocolate Cheesecake, and this Divinity Candy.
Can I substitute the cool whip?
In my experience, I have found that Cool Whip keeps longer and holds up better with refrigeration. However, it can be substituted with an equal amount of whipped cream. Just beware that it may not set as well after chilling in the fridge.
Can I Freeze Strawberry Lasagna?
Yes, you can freeze this dessert. Make sure to cover it with two layers of plastic wrap or foil to help it stay fresh. When ready to use it, thaw it in the fridge the night before. You can serve it while still partially frozen to have more of an ice cream cake texture.
How to make Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna:
STEP ONE: First, make the crust by mixing cookie crumbs and butter. Press the mixture into a 9×13-inch pan and chill for 30 minutes.
STEP TWO: Next, make the second layer by mixing the Strawberry Jello and boiling water together. Fold in one container of Cool Whip and strawberries, and then let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
STEP THREE: Spread the strawberry layer over the cream cheese layer. Let this chill until the layer is firm and completely set.
STEP FOUR: Finally, make the top layer by spreading the remaining Cool Whip over the strawberry layer. Garnish with strawberries, golden Oreo crumbs, and white chocolate curls, and then chill for at least 4 hours before enjoying.
