Berry Cheesecake Dessert

“My aunt tasted this classic dessert on a business trip at least 40 years ago and brought the recipe back to share with the family,” recalls Jo Nunnally of Ripley, Mississippi.

1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cold water
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs and butter. Press onto
the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking
dish. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add
eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into the crust.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until the center is almost set.
Carefully spread sour cream over the top. Bake 10 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir
