A recipe I have asked my Aunt Helen for numerous times - figured I would post it here so as not to lose it... again! This is a great dessert for summer get togethers - cool, fruity and not too heavy. Also, the crust can be made with graham crumbs if you prefer them to Oreos, and doesn't need to be baked (it just stays a little crumblier if you don't). **Note - prep time does not include 4 hour chill time**

Time 30m

Yield 1 9x13 cake pan, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
1/4 cup butter (melted) or 1/4 cup margarine (melted)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry Jell-O gelatin dessert
1 (15 ml) package unflavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 (500 ml) container Nutriwhip
2 cups strawberries (sliced)

Steps:

  • Crust: Combine Oreo crumbs, sugar, and butter and press firmly into a lightly greased 9X13 cake pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, then let cool before adding filling.
  • Filling: Combine strawberry Jell-o and gelatin in a small bowl, and add boiling water - stirring until completely dissolved.
  • Set Jell-o mixture in fridge, or fridge freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until just begining to thicken - it should still be liquid at this point (if a skin forms on top, just skim and discard).
  • While your Jell-o thickens, in a separate bowl blend cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Beat NutriWhip until whipped (peaks form) and fold into cream cheese mixture.
  • Blend semi-thickened Jell-o into cream cheese mixture until well blended.
  • Stir in sliced strawberries.
  • Pour filling onto crust, and chill for four hours, or overnight.
  • Top with extra Oreo crumbs if desired.
