Believe it or not, until Memorial Weekend, I’ve never had a layered dessert like this before. Now that I’ve made and photographed one, I realized this type of dessert is all over the internet in various forms.

Ingredients
1 package Golden Oreos (36 cookies)

8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (16-ounce) container Cool Whip, divided
2 packages (3.4 ounce each) instant cheesecake pudding mix
3 cups milk
3½ cups sliced strawberries
Method
- Crush the entire package of Oreos. A food processor would work great for this - I don't have one, so I just placed my cookies in a gallon sized Ziplock bag and crushed them with a rolling pin. When the cookies are fine crumbs, transfer them to a large bowl and mix in 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Press the cookie mixture into a 9x13 pan and refrigerate while you prepare the remaining layers.
- Next, beat together 1 cup of powdered sugar, the cream cheese, and 1 cup of Cool Whip. Spread over your cookie layer.
