âMy aunt tasted this classic dessert on a business trip at least 40 years ago and brought the recipe back to share with the family,â recalls Jo Nunnally of Ripley, Mississippi. Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1 cup sugar |
3 eggs |
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream |
1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin |
1 cup boiling water |
3/4 cup cold water |
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into the crust.
2. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until the center is almost set. Carefully spread sour cream over the top. Bake 10 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until thickened but not set.
4. Carefully pour a third of the gelatin over sour cream layer. Arrange strawberries over gelatin; pour remaining gelatin over berries. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. Yield: 12-15 servings.
