Ingredients
Crust & Topping
- 48 Golden Oreo cookies (ground)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 oz freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
Strawberry Jello Filling
- 32 oz fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 (3 oz) pack strawberry gelatin powder
Cream Layers
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar (divided)
- 12 oz cream cheese (room temp)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (divided)
Instructions
Strawberry Prep: Heat sliced strawberries and Jello powder on medium-low for 2–3 mins until gelatin dissolves into syrup. Cool completely.
Crust: Mix ground Oreos and melted butter. Reserve 1/4 for topping; press the rest into a 9×13 dish. Freeze for 10 mins.
Cream Filling: Whip heavy cream, vanilla, and 3/4 cup powdered sugar to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture.
Layering: Spread half the cream mixture on the crust; freeze for 10 mins. Spoon cooled strawberry filling over; freeze for 15 mins. Spread remaining cream mixture on top.
Set: Chill 4–12 hours. Garnish with reserved Oreo crumbs and freeze-dried strawberries before serving.
Notes
The Flash Freeze Secret: Using the freezer for 10–15 minutes between layers is the key to professional, distinct stripes. It prevents layers from bleeding into each other.
Cooling is Non-Negotiable: The strawberry-jello mixture must be completely cold before adding to the cream, or it will melt the base and destroy the structural integrity.
Crunch Factor: Add the freeze-dried strawberry topping immediately before serving to keep it from absorbing moisture and becoming soft.
