How to Make Jeremy's Mom's Strawberry Jelly Ring

  1. Dissolve one 3-ounce package of strawberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 cups cold water until completely dissolved.
  3. Remove 2 1/2 cups of the gelatin mixture and refrigerate until partially set (about 1-2 hours).
  4. Once partially set, gently fold in 1 pint (approximately 2 cups) of fresh strawberries, halved and sliced.
  5. Pour the strawberry mixture into a 6-cup ring mold.
  6. Refrigerate until set but not completely firm (approximately 2-3 hours).
  7. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the reserved chilled gelatin mixture (2 1/2 cups) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  8. Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture over the set strawberry layer in the mold.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to fully set.
  10. To serve, carefully run a thin knife around the edge of the mold and unmold onto a serving platter.
