Topping:
Let's get started on this delicious strawberry dessert by preparing the filling. This step is important because it needs some time to set and thicken, giving us the perfect texture for our recipe.
First, grab a mixing bowl and combine the sugar and cornstarch. Make sure to give it a good mix, ensuring there are no clumps.
Next, transfer this sugar-cornstarch mixture to a saucepan and add the water. It's time to put those stirring muscles to work! Stir the mixture continuously until everything dissolves nicely, leaving no lumps behind.
Now, let's turn up the heat! Set your burner to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Keep that spoon moving as you stir for about a minute. You'll notice the mixture thickening beautifully right before your eyes.
Time to take it off the heat! Remove the saucepan from the burner and add the Jello package to the mixture. Give it a good stir until the Jello completely dissolves, infusing our filling with a burst of fruity flavor.
To speed up the cooling process and help our filling thicken even more, pop the mixture into the freezer for a quick cool-down.
While our filling chills, let's prepare the star of the show-our strawberries! Give them a gentle wash, removing any dirt or debris. Once they're nice and clean, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
Take the Jello mixture out of the freezer and add those beautifully sliced strawberries. Give it a good stir to ensure that every strawberry is coated in that luscious Jello goodness and return the mixture to the freezer.
Now, let's move on to the crust. Get ready to indulge in that irresistible Oreo goodness!
Start by grabbing a stack of 22 Oreo cookies. You have a choice here: you can either scrape out the creamy filling or leave it intact. Personally, I love the extra creaminess, so I prefer to leave it in.
Take those Oreos and crush them into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or simply place them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The choice is yours!
Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened butter. Give it a good mix until the crumbs and butter come together, forming a crumbly texture. It's like creating a delectable cookie crust!
Now, let's assemble our individual servings of deliciousness. Take some clear serving cups and pour approximately ¼ cup of the crust mixture into each cup. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each cup, creating a solid and compact crust base.
Retrieve the strawberry mixture from the freezer. It should be nicely chilled and slightly thickened by now. Pour a generous amount of the strawberry mixture into each cup, ensuring that it covers the crust completely. The strawberry layer against the dark cookie crust is simply irresistible!
To allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set, transfer the cups to the refrigerator. Give them some time to chill and firm up. This step is essential for that perfect texture and taste.
Now, let's dive into the delightful topping that will take our strawberry delight to the next level!
Grab a large bowl and combine the whipped cream, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. As you start stirring, watch as these luscious ingredients come together in a heavenly union.
Take a moment to appreciate the sight of this delectable mixture. This fabulous creation could easily double as a fantastic fruit dip. Just imagine dipping fresh strawberries or juicy chunks of pineapple into this creamy delight. It's like a little party for your taste buds!
Take the cream cheese mixture and generously spread it over the layer of Jello and strawberries. Make sure to cover all the corners and create a smooth, creamy surface.
Once the cream cheese layer is in place, it's time to add a delightful touch of texture. Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top, creating a beautiful and irresistible crust.
Now, here comes the hard part - exercising patience. Pop our strawberry delight into the refrigerator and let it chill overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours. This crucial step allows all the flavors to meld together and for the dessert to set perfectly.
I know it's tempting to dive right in but trust me, the wait will be worth it. As the dessert chills, the flavors intensify, and the layers harmonize into a mouthwatering treat that will leave you craving more.
Before we dive into the strawberry delight, let's add a final touch to take it to the next level.
Grab a couple of fresh, juicy strawberries and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Carefully place the strawberry slices on top of our creamy creation.
Once the strawberries are in place, it's time for the moment we've been waiting for. Grab a spoon and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures that await you.
Each heavenly bite will be a delightful symphony of creamy sweetness, tangy strawberries, and irresistible cookie crumbs. The contrast of the fresh strawberries on top adds a burst of freshness and completes this delectable dessert.
This Strawberry Delight dessert not only tastes divine but also looks impressive. Treat yourself to this little slice of heaven and let your taste buds rejoice in pure bliss!
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries to make Strawberry Delight. Keep in mind, frozen strawberries don't look the same as fresh, so your finished dessert may look a little different.
Although, I do recommend topping the dessert with fresh strawberries if possible.
Yes, this dessert can also be prepared in a 13x9-inch baking dish instead of individual cups.
