Ingredients

20 finely crushed golden Oreos (about 8 oz.), plus 3 finely chopped

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, cooled

12 oz. cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup (85 g) plus 1 tbsp. confectioners’ sugar, divided

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, divided

2 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided

5 tsp. strawberry gelatin powder (such as strawberry Jell-O)

2/3 cup fresh strawberries, hulled, finely chopped

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the crushed golden Oreos and kosher salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8″ x 8″ glass baking dish. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2: In another large bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the heavy cream and continue to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture (approximately 380 g) evenly over the cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 4: Add the strawberry gelatin powder to the remaining cream cheese mixture and beat again until the color is uniform and the mixture is fully combined, about 1 minute. Spread this strawberry layer evenly over the previous cream cheese layer and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 day, until set and cold.

Step 5: When ready to serve, in a medium bowl, beat the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 6: Spread the whipped cream over the strawberry layer. Sprinkle the top with the fresh chopped strawberries and the finely chopped Oreo cookies for garnish.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, use whole oreo crumbs for the crust instead of finely crushed ones.

Swap fresh strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.

Use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping to lighten the dessert.

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.

FAQs

Can I use a different crust instead of golden Oreos?

Yes, graham cracker crumbs or crushed vanilla biscuits work well as alternatives for the crust.

Is it necessary to refrigerate the dessert before serving?
