  • Preheat the oven to 180° C.
  • In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the butter and Hershey’s® Kitchens Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips until a paste forms. Pour into a 23 cm diameter cake pan and flatten with a spoon until you have a firm and flat cookie base, set aside in the refrigerator.
  • For the red velvet cake, in a bowl sift the flour with the Hershey’s® Cocoa, set aside. Cream the butter in the mixer until pale, add the sugar, the eggs one by one, the vanilla extract, the cream, the red dye, and the powders, beat until combined.
  • Mix the baking soda with the vinegar and add it to the mixer preparation, beat for 1 more minute. Pour the mixture into the mold and bake for 40 minutes or until well cooked. Cool and set aside.
  • For the cheesecake, blend the cream cheese with the Hershey’s® Strawberry Syrup, sweetened condensed milk, strawberries, and gelatin in a thread until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Quickly fold in the diced strawberries and the Hershey’s® Cookies’n Cream Crunchers. Pour over the already cooled cake and smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate until set and unmold.
  • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar, Hershey’s® Strawberry Syrup, vanilla extract, and gelatin, place in a piping bag with a large star tip and cover the cake with rosettes. Refrigerate to firm up and decorate with halved strawberries. Serve.
