Instructions

1. To make the crust, crush the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix with the melted butter and optional red, white, and blue sprinkles.

5. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Gently fold in the gelatin mixture, then fold in the whipped cream.
7. Spread evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate or freeze until set.
8. For the strawberry jello layer, dissolve the strawberry jello in boiling water, then cool with iced water to reach room temperature.
9. Arrange the sliced firm strawberries over the set cheesecake layer in the dish.
10. Pour the cooled strawberry jello mixture over the strawberries, ensuring even coverage.
11. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight until fully set.

Notes

πŸ“ Use firm strawberries to keep the layers distinct and prevent sogginess.
⏰ Prepare a day in advance due to the long chilling times required for setting.
🫐 Opt for fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and a visually appealing presentation.
