Preparation

  • 1 For the crust, mix cookie crumbs and sugar in large bowl. Stir in melted butter until well blended. Press mixture firmly into bottom of parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
  • 2 For the filling, place cold water in microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand 2 minutes. Microwave on HIGH for 20 seconds. Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool completely.

Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until set. Serve with whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries.
