Ingredients

for the crust -

  • 16 oz Sugar Cookie Dough store-bought or homemade

for the cheesecake:

for the strawberry topping:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour 2 tart dishes. Divide sugar cookie dough in half. Roll each half into a circle just bigger than the dish (roll it out onto parchment...makes transfer much easier), then press the dough into the dish. Repeat for second dish.
  • Bake until edges are lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Recipes and crust thickness will vary, so watch them after 10 minutes so they don't overbake. Cool.
  • Add the cheesecake ingredients to a medium mixing bowl, and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture into each cooked and cooled sugar cookie crust.
  • Cover and refrigerate until cheesecake is set.
  • Arrange strawberries in desired pattern on the cheesecake.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar and cornstarch, and boil until clear.
  • Remove from heat and add the Jell-o powder. Thoroughly combine.
  • With a pastry brush, brush the Jello-o mixtures over the strawberries. If desired, cover the exposed cheesecake edges (or leave as-is, depending on the look you're going for!).
  • Return to refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

If you are making this a day in advance, try brushing the inside of the cooled sugar cookie crust with melted white chocolate. This will provide a barrier, preventing the moist cheesecake filling from making the crust too soft. Plus, chocolate! Bonus.
