Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (165°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted margarine until moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
  5. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  6. Place the bowl over low heat or microwave in short bursts, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
  7. Drain thawed strawberries, reserving the liquid. Chop strawberries if large.
  8. Add enough milk to the reserved strawberry liquid to measure 1 cup total.
  9. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and well blended.
  10. Gradually add the dissolved gelatin and the strawberry-milk mixture to the cream cheese, beating until combined.
  11. Refrigerate the mixture for about 20-30 minutes until it is slightly thickened but still pourable.
  12. Gently fold in the whipped cream and drained strawberries until evenly distributed.
  13. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to slice.
