A luscious cream cheese sweet gelatin layer hugged by a strawberry jello and topped with fruits. A delicious no bake easy dessert that has the wow factor you need.
Jello strawberry cake or should I say jello strawberry bundt is a no bake cream cheese and strawberry mold that will get everyone excited. So light and refreshing.
If you are looking for something to make that looks fancy and will make an excellent impression, this is the one. My kids were so excited to try this out, they kept seeing it in the fridge for almost two days while I was waiting for the some quality daylight to shoot it.
I am a visual person so, I love Pinterest. I can seriously lose track of time scrolling through so many ideas there. From home organizing to DIY, kids crafts, recipes, fitness ideas and so on. I honestly like it more than facebook and I can spend hours and hours there wandering aimlessly between all these great photos.
One day I was looking for ways to consume gelatin when I stumbled upon this dessert idea.
This lovely lady here on youtube has so many gelatin cake/mold/bundt, or whatever you want to call them, ideas that are so brilliant and looks so good. Among all the fantastic ideas that she had, I’ve decided to try this one. It looked promising and very appealing.
Can be made to celebrate Christmas, Valentine’s day, Mothers day or to celebrate any day of the year actually. Simply change the fruits and the jello to go with any theme you want.
My mom loves jello, I can hold her genes accountable for the three jello monsters I have at home. In Egypt though, we are used to having jello cups filled with fruits, most commonly banana slices or apples. Unlike here in the US, jello is consumed as is, which of course a thing that mama did not approve and scolded me for giving my kids jello without fruits.
As determined as all grandmas are, she went on a mission to make my kids love jello cups with fruits. And to my surprise, she succeeded 😲, I’ve tried this may be 7 years ago and just gave up!. Her point is that without fruits, jello is just sugar and flavor nothing nutritional in there.
I think my mom will like this as well, because it has milk and fruits are thrown around it freely for you to pick. It turned out beautifully colored and very tasty. So let’s see.
Sprinkle gelatin on a cup of cold water and let stand for 10 minutes or so, the powder will kind of sets and blooms. In the video above I think, as my Spanish is ahem tarnished, she warmed the water a bit before adding the gelatin powder.
I did not do that as the gelatin I have should be sprinkled over cold water. So read the instructions on your gelatin container first.
After gelatin has turned into gel form, microwave for 40 seconds to turn it back into a liquid form. In your mixer, add cream cheese, both milks and the gelatin. Mix well until everything is very well combined.
Oil your bundt either by a spray, a brush or with a kitchen towel just wet enough with few drops of oil. Pour the cream cheese mixture and refrigerate for a couple of hours to set.
Make the Jell-o by mainly following the instructions on your packet. Dissolve the jello in hot water first then pour in the cold water and waiting for it to completely come to room temperature.
Take the bundt out of the fridge and try carefully with your fingers to loosen it around the edges. You can also try to flip it over in a plate then immediately return it back in the bundt. Now pour the jello over the cream cheese, you’ll notice that the cream cheese part will float. Return to fridge to set.
Now to get it out of the pan try putting it in hot water for just 5 seconds and it will come out easily and nicely. Turn it into your serving platter garnish with lots of fruits free style. Now slice and serve, so delicious and feeds a crowed easily.

I am so excited about this new recipe! I think I will be trying this out for my family for Valentine’s Day 🙂
Thank you for your comment, it is very exciting to make as well. I thought I will never make it right, but was really easy to make. I hope you’ll like it.
Looks beautiful and tasty! Although I’ve never acquired a taste for Jello, I think this recipe might sway me to give it a try.
Nova, If you like creamy desserts like flan for example, you’ll like the white part more and you’ll not mind having some jello on top:). Thanks for commenting and I hope you’ll like this recipe. It was really a fun project in the kitchen.
Hi. Do you by chance know what size your bundt pan is?
Melanie, my pan was 14.5 cups, I hope this will help. Thanks for asking, let me know how it went.
This jello was absolutely GORGEOUS. Made it for a party and was gone in 5 minutes!.
Thanks Kelly for trying this recipe, I am glad you liked it.
I don’t think mine is going to be gorgeous. It didn’t float..
This is really strange Mary, I am guessing the white part is still stuck to the bottom of the pan. Can you please check the video?, it will show you exactly how it should look like.
Easy to make, and very impressive to put forth on an table. Thank you.
Thank you for the lovely recipes for the Jello Bundt cake. I plan to make it for my Mothers birthday! Looks tasty! I will be following you for more recipes in the future!
