Ingredients
- 12 golden Oreos
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 packet (about 1.5 oz) strawberry jello
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3 oz frozen Cool Whip
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Crush the golden Oreos either in a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Step 3: Transfer the crushed Oreos to a bowl, add the strawberry jello powder, then drizzle with melted butter. Let it sit for 30–60 seconds before stirring to combine.
- Step 4: Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 7–8 minutes. Allow the strawberry shortcake crunch to cool completely.
- Step 5: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, frozen Cool Whip, and milk. Blend until fully smooth.
- Step 6: In a clear glass, layer some of the blended ice cream mixture and the cooled strawberry shortcake crunch. Repeat layering once more, then serve and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For extra crunch, toast the shortcake mix a minute longer, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Try using fresh strawberries instead of jello powder for a more natural fruit flavor.
- Use low-fat ice cream and whipped topping for a lighter version.
Storage
Store any leftover strawberry shortcake crunch in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The blended ice cream mixture is best enjoyed immediately but can be frozen in a container for up to a week; thaw slightly before serving.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use other types of cookies instead of golden Oreos?
Yes, any crisp, sweet cookies like vanilla wafers or graham crackers work well as a substitute for the golden Oreos.
What if I don’t have a blender?
You can soften the ice cream and fold it gently with the Cool Whip and milk using a whisk or spoon, but the texture may be less smooth than when blended.
