After you have the crust and cream cheese filling layered and in the fridge, begin making the jello topping.
In a medium bowl, thaw the strawberries (and juices) in the microwave. Only microwave long enough to thaw it but do not let it get warm. It's ok to have a few frozen berries and a bit of slush.
*Do not make the jello according to the package instructions. Only use these instructions or your jello topping won't set up properly.
In another medium bowl, combine 1 cup boiling water and the 6 oz box of strawberry jello. Stir until the jello is completely dissolved.
Add the strawberry and juice mixture to the jello. Stir until mixed well and combined.
Place bowl of strawberry jello in the fridge to chill for 1 hour. *set a timer so as to not leave it in too long. We want it to thicken up but not set up fully.
After the strawberry jello mixture has chilled for 1 hour, carefully layer it over the cream cheese filling. Spread into a nice even layer. It will be a bit bumpy.
Cover the dish and keep refrigerated overnight (minimum 6 hours). Cut into squares and serve to your friends and loved ones with a proud smile.
Enjoy!
