In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream till stiff peaks form.
Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for about 1 to 2 minutes and add it to the cheesecake batter. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake batter just until all is combined well.
Pour the cheesecake into the prepared serving glass/bowl. Let it sit, uncovered, in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until the next layer is ready.
To prepare the Strawberry cheesecake layer, with the help of a whisk/blender, mix the 1 pound of cream cheese with 1/4 cup of sugar. Add the vanilla extract, then add the strawberry topping, except the 3/4 cup you have reserved for the top layer.
In a separate bowl, whip the 1/2 cup of heavy cream till stiff peaks form. Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for about 1 to 2 minutes, then add it to the cheesecake batter.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake batter just until all is combined together. Pour the cheesecake into the prepared serving glass/bowl. Let it sit, uncovered, in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
