Main Ingredients:
- 24 golden oreos
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter, melted
- 1 3-ounce (85 grams) box strawberry jell-o
Creamy Layer:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or light grease.
- Transform Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbles using a food processor or manual crushing technique with a rolling pin.
- Blend the crushed Oreo crumbs with strawberry Jell-O powder and melted butter until a uniform mixture forms.
- Distribute the crumbly mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, consistent layer.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, watching for a light golden transformation.
- Extract the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crunch mixture to cool completely at room temperature, ensuring a crisp texture develops.
Notes
- Versatile Texture: Crush Oreos finely for a smoother crunch or leave some larger pieces for a more rustic, textured topping.
- Dairy-Free Adaptation: Swap butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine to make the recipe dairy-free and suitable for plant-based diets.
- Storage Tip: Store the crunch in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, maintaining its crispy texture and preventing moisture absorption.
- Flavor Variation: Experiment with different Jell-O flavors like raspberry or cherry to create unique taste profiles for this crunchy topping.
