This strawberry lasagna is a no-bake dessert recipe made with 4 delicious layers. A golden Oreo crust, cheesecake with fresh strawberries, creamy strawberry jello and whipped topping!
Ingredients
Crust
- 36 golden Oreo's
- 6 Tablespoons butter , melted
First layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cool whip , thawed
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons cold milk , if needed
2nd layer:
- 3 ounces strawberry flavored gelatin , 1 box of Jello
- ½ cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- 8 ounces cool whip , thawed
Topping:
- 8 ounces fresh whipped cream , or cool whip
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries , sliced (more for top if desired)
Instructions
- Make crust: Crush 36 Oreo's in a food processor or in a zip top bag with a rolling pin. Add 6 Tablespoons melted butter and mix until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13" dish and place in the freezer or refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- Cream cheese layer. In a medium-sized bowl, whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Add in 1 cup powdered sugar. Mix until combined. Then add in 8 ounces of cool whip. Add in 1-2 Tablespoons of milk if needed to thin. Then spread the mixture lightly over the crust. Layer sliced strawberries on top. Place in the freezer or refrigerator for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Strawberry jello layer: In a separate bowl, combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup hot water. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved. Then add the 1/2 cup cold water. Allow to slightly cool on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes (don't let it set). Then whisk in 8 ounces of cool whip.
- Chill. Spread over the top of the cream cheese layer. Place back in the freezer or refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow jello to set.
- Whipped cream. Spread remaining cool whip or whipped cream (I prefer homemade whipped cream if I have the time for this layer) on top. Place in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
- Serve. Remove from the refrigerator just before serving. Add fresh strawberries just before serving. Slice and enjoy while cool.
Notes
Oreos: Keep the cream in the center. You want to crush them pretty fine, so I find using a blender or food processor is easiest.
Topping: You could also add crushed golden oreos for the topping. Instead of fresh strawberries, you could even mix in freeze dried strawberries with the golden oreos.
Cool whip: If you prefer a homemade cool whip, it is fairly easy to make. You could also make homemade whipped cream for the top layer. I prefer to use cool whip for the first two layers though because it makes the layers thicker.
Make ahead: This dessert can easily be made 24 hours in advanced. The crust will get softer the longer the pudding sits, so I don't like to prep it more than 48 hours in advance. You can also make the crust and then keep the layers in separate bowls until ready to assemble.
