Ingredients
Scale
- 6 golden oreo cookies
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons strawberry flavored gelatin powder
- 12–15 large fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, then set it aside.
- Place the golden oreo cookies in a small food processor or high-speed blender, and pulse for 30-60 seconds until they are finely crushed. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and set them aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter and strawberry gelatin powder until it is dissolved and fully blended.
- Combine the strawberry mixture with the cookie crumbs, stirring until well integrated. The cookie crumbs will not turn completely pink, which is expected to create a crunchy two-toned texture.
- Spread the strawberry crunch mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer, and bake for 8-10 minutes or until it is lightly golden. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet while you prepare the cream cheese filling. If necessary, break apart any larger pieces of crumbs before adding them to the strawberries.
- Rinse the strawberries under cool water, then pat them dry thoroughly. Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise, removing any green leaves, and place them on a serving platter with the cut side facing up. Set them aside.
- In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the cream cheese on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low until fully incorporated. Then add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, beating for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Using a 1-½ teaspoon measuring spoon, dollop the cream cheese filling onto the cut surface of each strawberry. Alternatively, transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag fitted with a piping tip for decorative dollops if desired.
- After topping all the strawberries with the cream cheese filling, sprinkle the reserved strawberry crunch topping over them and serve.
