Indian Desi Tadka: Summertime Strawberry Gelatin Salad

Indian Desi Tadka: Summertime Strawberry Gelatin Salad
It's as pretty as
it is good, so it's nice for serving at holiday feasts besides.
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
MIDDLE LAYER
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
TOP LAYER
1 (6 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
3-4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
In a bowl, dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water; stir in cold water. Pour into a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. dish coated with nonstick cooking spray ; refrigerate until set. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat cream (do not boil). Add softened gelatin; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Cool to room temperature. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add the unflavored gelatin mixture; mix well. Carefully pour over the bottom layer. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. For top layer, dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water; stir in cold water. Cool to room temperature. Stir in strawberries; carefully spoon over middle layer. Refrigerate overnight.

Note: This salad takes time to prepare since each layer must be set before the next layer is added
