Ingredients
Crust and Topping:
48 Golden Oreo cookies (ground whole with the filling)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 oz. freeze-dried strawberries, coarsely crushed
Strawberry Jello Filling:
32 oz. fresh strawberries, sliced
1 (3 oz.) pack strawberry-flavored gelatin (like Jell-O)
Whipped Cream:
3 cups heavy whipping cream
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Filling:
12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Filling: In a large saucepan, combine sliced strawberries and sprinkle with the dry strawberry Jello powder. Heat over medium-low for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin dissolves. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Crust: Pulse the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs in a food processor. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch dish. Chill in the fridge or freezer.
- Make Whipped Cream: Whip the heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: Cream together butter, cream cheese, and vanilla, then mix in powdered sugar. Fold in whipped cream.
- Assemble the Lasagna: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust, freeze for 10 minutes, then spoon the strawberry filling over it. Freeze for another 10-15 minutes until set. Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Add Topping: Before serving, mix reserved Oreo crumbs with crushed freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkle over the top.
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh strawberries.
This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 5-6 days.
Feel free to substitute Golden Oreos with graham crackers or another cookie of your choice.
