Ingredients
2 cups crushed golden Oreos or shortbread cookies
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whipped topping, thawed
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup strawberry glaze or strawberry jam
Extra crushed cookies or graham cracker crumbs for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Combine crushed cookies and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press into the base of an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan to form the crust. Chill while preparing the filling.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.
3. Spread half of the filling over the crust. Layer with half of the strawberries, followed by a drizzle of glaze.
4. Repeat with the remaining filling, strawberries, and glaze on top.
5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Before serving, top with extra crushed cookies or graham crumbs for texture.
7. Slice with a sharp knife and serve chilled.
Notes
Let the cream cheese soften to room temperature for a smoother filling.
Pat strawberries dry to prevent the layers from getting soggy.
For best results, chill overnight to let the dessert set completely.
