How to Make Strawberry Gelatin Dessert
- **Make the crust:** In a bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch square baking dish.
- **Prepare the strawberries:** In a small bowl, combine 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Let stand for 20 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- **Dissolve gelatin:** In a medium bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
- **Combine strawberry mixture and gelatin:** Drain the strawberries, reserving the juice. Add enough water to the reserved juice to measure 1 cup. Stir the gelatin mixture until dissolved. Add the drained strawberries and the 1 cup strawberry juice mixture to the gelatin. Stir well to combine.
- **Chill the gelatin mixture:** Refrigerate the strawberry gelatin mixture until partially set, about 30-45 minutes.
- **Make the marshmallow cream:** In a small saucepan, combine 10 ounces (about 1 cup) miniature marshmallows and ½ cup milk. Cook and stir over low heat until marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature (about 15 minutes).
- **Combine and chill:** Fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping into the cooled marshmallow cream. Gently fold in the partially set strawberry gelatin mixture until just combined.
- **Set the dessert:** Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- **Serve and enjoy:** Slice and serve your Strawberry Gelatin Delight! Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
