Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Golden Oreos (about 15 cookies)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Lemon zest from 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries (10 minutes): Rinse, hull, and slice about 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Optionally toss with 1 teaspoon sugar to macerate.
- Whip the Cream (7-10 minutes): In a chilled mixing bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Layer the Cake (15 minutes): Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish. Place a layer of Golden Oreos on top, slightly smashing some to fill gaps.
- Add Strawberries and Cream: Spoon sliced strawberries over the cookies, then spread whipped cream on top. Repeat layering cookies, strawberries, and cream until ingredients are used or dish is filled (usually 3 layers).
- Chill: Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow cookies to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and cookie crumbs. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
Notes
Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Stop whipping at soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. Minimum 2 hours chilling possible but longer chilling improves texture. Avoid freezing to maintain texture. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream and powdered sugar with natural sweetener. Gluten-free option available with gluten-free cookies.
