Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Topping:
- 48 Golden Oreo cookies, processed into crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 oz. freeze-dried strawberries, coarsely crushed
Strawberry Jello Filling:
- 32 oz. fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 (3 oz.) pack of strawberry-flavored gelatin (e.g., Jell-O)
Whipped Cream:
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
- Combine sliced strawberries with strawberry gelatin powder in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-low for 2-3 minutes, stirring until gelatin dissolves. Cool.
- Make the Crust:
- Pulse Golden Oreos into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Reserve ¼ of the mixture for the topping and press the rest into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Chill.
- Whip the Cream:
- Beat cold heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
- Mix cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then fold in the whipped cream.
- Assemble Layers:
- Spread half the cream cheese mixture over the crust and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Layer the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and freeze for another 10-15 minutes until set.
- Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly on top and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Add the Crunchy Topping:
- Mix reserved Oreo crumbs with crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Sprinkle on top before serving.
- Serve:
- Slice into squares and serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-6 days.
Notes
- Substitute the homemade whipped cream with Cool Whip for convenience.
- Use graham crackers or vanilla wafers for the crust if you don’t have Golden Oreos.
- For a tangy twist, swap fresh strawberries for raspberries or mixed berries.
