Strawberry cream cheese jello

Today we are making a cream cheese jello. This dessert is a bit tedious but not hard to make. The first layer we put down on the mold will be the strawberry jello and the actual strawberries. The bottom or last layer will be the cream cheese jello. A few things to remember with this recipe. You can always replace the strawberry jello for another flavor and another fruit. If you replace for pineapple jello do not use real pineapple as your fruit of choice. The acid in the pineapple will not allow the jello to set. In this recipe I am using a jello that is made with milk, you can definitely replace this with a water based jello.
