Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

22 Golden Oreos ((253 grams / 8.9 oz))
1 (3-oz) Package Strawberry Jell-O (- Powder only!)
4-6 TBS Salted Butter (- melted and cooled, or more to taste (SEE NOTES))
1/4 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract ((OPTIONAL) (SEE NOTES))
26 Golden Oreos ((300 grams / 10.55 oz))
1-ounce package Freeze-Dried Strawberries
5 TBS Salted Butter - melted and cooled (or more as needed (SEE NOTES))
1/4 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract ((OPTIONAL) (SEE NOTES))
Optional Ingredients: Cinnamon, Crushed Nuts or Crushed Candied Nuts, Sprinkles, Baking Chips ((SEE NOTES))

Steps:

  • For Traditional Strawberry Topping (OVEN BAKE METHOD): Preheat oven to 350-degrees F; line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Add Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped (24-32 pulses). Sprinkle the strawberry Jell-O powder over the Oreos. Pulse twice to combine. Pour the melted butter (and salt if using unsalted butter) over the mixture and pulse until thoroughly combined and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about 8-12 pulses). Transfer the crumbles to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in an even layer. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly toasted and fragrant (baking time will depend upon oven strength and the amount of butter you use). Place baking sheet on a wire cooling rack and cool completely to room temperature. Use and enjoy or store for later!
  • For Quick Strawberry Topping (NO-BAKE METHOD): Add the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped (24-32 pulses). Add the strawberries to the bowl and pulse a few times to combine. Drizzle 5 tablespoons of melted butter (and salt if using unsalted butter) over the crushed strawberry mixture. Pulse or stir until the mixture is just moistened (not wet) and comes together. Stir in more melted butter, ½ tablespoon at a time, as needed. You want the mixture to resemble coarse crumbs - don't over process! Serve and enjoy or store for later!
