How to Make Strawberry Dessert

  1. **Make the Crust:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  2. **Press into Pan:** Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. **Bake the Crust:** Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. **Prepare the Filling:** In a medium bowl, dissolve 3 oz (about 1 packet) strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  5. **Add Strawberries:** Gently stir in 2 cups of frozen strawberries. Continue stirring until the strawberries are completely thawed and the mixture slightly thickens.
  6. **Layer and Chill:** Pour the strawberry filling over the baked crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  7. **Finishing Touches:** Before serving, spread ½ cup whipped cream evenly over the top. Sprinkle with ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts).
