◦ In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
◦ Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined.

◦ Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir.
◦ Let the gelatin cool slightly, then pour it over the cheesecake layer.
◦ Gently arrange the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the gelatin layer.
4 Refrigerate:
◦ Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the layers have set and the dessert is firm.
5 Serve:
◦ Before serving, garnish with extra whipped topping and fresh strawberries, if desired.
