You’ll need:

2 cups of crushed vanilla sandwich cookies (I used 20 Golden Oreos)
6 tablespoons of crushed freeze-dried strawberries
6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 cups of heavy cream, very cold
1½ cups of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
16 ounces of cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup of granulated sugar
1 cup of strawberry preserves (I used Smucker’s brand)
1 teaspoon of strawberry extract
1 (11-ounce) box of vanilla wafer cookies
1 pound of fresh strawberries, rinsed and sliced (¼-inch slices)

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
STRAWBERRY EXTRACT: I like the addition of the strawberry extract to the cream cheese mixture as it boosts the strawberry flavor. I used a dark red strawberry extract (LorAnn Gourmet Strawberry baking emulsion), so I did not need to add any additional food coloring to get that beautiful pink color. It is used in equal amounts as a standard strawberry extract.

Some strawberry extracts are clear or very light pink, so you may want to add 2-3 drops of red food coloring to your cream cheese in addition to the extract to get that beautiful pink color.

WHIPPED CREAM: You can substitute 2 (8-ounce) tubs of Cool Whip for the homemade whipped cream in this easy dessert recipe. If you choose to do so, I suggest cutting back on the granulated sugar in the recipe, as the commercial brands of whipped topping are much sweeter than this homemade one.

COOKIES: If you do not want to buy two different types of cookies for this easy recipe, you can substitute the crushed vanilla sandwich cookies with an additional half a box of vanilla wafer cookies. You will just want to note that your crumb topping will be a little thinner and lighter than with the vanilla sandwich cookies.

BERRIES: You could use a combination of fresh berries for this recipe. You can use a pre-mixed berry combination or stick with just one type of berry if you prefer. This is totally up to you and your taste buds!
