Ingredients
- 23 Golden Oreo cookies
- 1 (3 oz) packet strawberry-flavored gelatin
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Crush the Cookies: Place the Golden Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become coarse crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until coarse.
- Mix with Gelatin: Transfer the crushed cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl and add the strawberry-flavored gelatin powder. Stir well to combine evenly.
- Add Butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter into the mixture and stir thoroughly until the crumbs are fully coated and evenly combined.
- Bake: Spread the mixture evenly in a thin layer across the prepared baking sheet. Bake it in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, allowing the mixture to crisp up and meld flavors.
- Cool & Crumble: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the strawberry crunch to cool completely. If it hardens into a solid layer, gently break it into smaller crumbly pieces before storing for easy use as a topping or snack.
Notes
- Using Golden Oreo cookies gives a nice vanilla flavor complementing the strawberry gelatin.
- Make sure to crush the cookies coarsely for texture rather than fine powder.
- Cool the mixture fully to achieve the perfect crunchy texture.
- Store the finished strawberry crunch in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- Great as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or desserts like cheesecake.
