To make the whipped cream:

  • In a bowl, beat chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until the mixture becomes thick and stiff. Measure out 1 cup of the mixture for the cheesecake layer. Cover rest for topping.

Graham Cracker Crust (Red) Layer:

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, strawberry jam, melted butter and red food coloring.
  • Mix well and press in the bottom of 13 x 9 x 2 inch dish. Place the crust in the freezer to firm.

Cheesecake (White) Layer:

  • To make cheesecake layer, use a mixer to combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and butter. Mix in 1 cup of your thick whipped cream mixture. The thickness of this layer will allow the layers to hold when serving.
  • Gently fold in diced strawberries and spread over the crust. Place in the fridge to set.

Blueberry (Blue) Layer:

  • Make your blueberry jello mixture by combining 6 oz of jello powder with 1 1/4 cup boiling water. Stir the mixture until the powder is completely dissolved. Then,  set aside to cool for 15-20 minutes.
  • Make blueberry pie filling by whisking together sugar and cornstarch until even. Then, on medium heat, add the blueberries, water and lemon juice. Stir and cook until thick. Take off the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Stir in crushed pineapple and cooled blueberry pie filling to the jello liquid. Place in the fridge to set.
  • Spread blueberry jello layer over chilled cheesecake layer. Ensure your layers are thoroughly cooled so it won’t melt other layers.
  • Place in the fridge to chill and set again.

Topping:

  • Top with remaining whipped cream and berries.
  • Store in the fridge.
