🥄 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Layer
-
In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
-
Toss gently and let sit for 10–15 minutes to release natural juices.
Tip: You can mash half of the strawberries slightly for a sauce-like layer while keeping some slices whole for texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Base Layer
-
Cookie Base: Crush cookies into fine crumbs (or leave slightly chunky for texture).
-
Optional Crust: If using graham crackers, mix crumbs with melted butter and press evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
-
For Oreos, place whole cookies at the bottom or lightly press crushed cookies into a thin base layer.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Layer
-
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Fold in the whipped cream gently until fully incorporated, keeping the mixture light and airy.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
-
Layer 1: Place cookies or crust at the bottom of your serving dish.
-
Layer 2: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the cookie layer.
-
Layer 3: Spread half of the prepared strawberry mixture on top.
-
Repeat layers with remaining cheesecake mixture and strawberries.
-
Optional: Save a few strawberries and a small amount of whipped cream for topping.
