Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350ºF for about 10 minutes, or until crust slightly darkens and is firm to the touch.

NO BAKE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE (TO BEAT ALL OTHERS!)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl mix together graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Dump into a 9" pie pan. Spread in an even layer, then use fingers, or flat-bottomed glass, to press crumbs firmly on bottom and up sides of pan. Chill for 20 minutes.
• ALTERNATIVE GLUTEN FREE CRUST: Preheat oven to 375ºF. Stir together crushed cereal, sugar, and butter in a bowl. TIP: For best results use a food processor to mix everything and so crumbs are very finely ground, almost like flour. Dump into a 9" pie pan. Spread in an even layer, then use fingers, or flat-bottomed glass, to press crumbs firmly on bottom and up sides of pan. Bake for 12 minutes and cool at least 15 minutes before filling.
• In a large bowl use a hand mixer to beat together cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and no lumps remain, about 1 minute on high.
• Gently fold 2 cups of whipped topping into cream cheese mixture. Evenly spread cheesecake filling in no bake crust. Place back in refrigerator for 1 hour while making strawberry topping.
• Wash strawberries, hull, and then place on towels to dry.
• In a small saucepan whisk together sugar, cornSTARCH, and water. Bring to boil, whisking occasionally.
• Immediately remove from heat once it begins to boil. Whisk in strawberry jello (with 1 tablespoon removed) and corn SYRUP. Stir to dissolve and let sit until thickened and cooled, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally while cooling.
• Arrange washed, dried, and hulled strawberries, cut side down, on top of cheesecake filling. Place the pie on a large platter or baking sheet to catch drips. Spoon cooled strawberry gelatin mixture over fresh strawberries. TIP: This makes a lot of glaze. I usually pour half on, refrigerate until set, and then add another layer. Return cheesecake to refrigerator for gelatin to set, about 1 hour.
