Preparation
- In a large saucepan, place sliced strawberries, sprinkle with dry strawberry Jello powder and stir gently. Heat over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin dissolves. Set aside to cool.
- Place whole Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter until evenly moistened. Reserve ¼ of the mixture for topping, and press the remaining mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch dish. Place in the fridge or freezer.
- In a large bowl, mix heavy whipping cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla until soft peaks form. Add ¾ cup powdered sugar and continue mixing until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Cream softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla together. Mix in 1 cup powdered sugar. Fold in prepared whipped cream.
- Spread ½ of the cream cheese-whipped cream mixture over the Oreo crust. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Spoon strawberry filling over the cream cheese layer, smooth the top, and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the Jello has set.
- Spread remaining cream cheese filling over the strawberry layer. Smooth the top and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- To make the strawberry crunch topping, stir reserved Oreo crumbs with coarsely crushed freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkle on top.
- Serve cold from the fridge. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5-6 days.
