Method
Make and chill the Golden Oreo crust
- Mix the finely crushed Golden Oreos with the melted butter until evenly moistened, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish using a flat surface for an even layer.
- Refrigerate the crust for 20 minutes so it sets before layering.
Prepare the cream cheese layer
- Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in half of the whipped topping until no streaks remain.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust in an even layer.
- Refrigerate while you prepare the Jell-O so the cream layer stays firm.
Add and set the strawberry Jell-O layer
- Dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 cup cold water, then cool to room temperature until glossy and pourable; do not let it set.
- Pour the cooled strawberry Jell-O gently over the cream cheese layer to avoid disturbing it, then refrigerate for 1 hour until set.
Add and set the blue Jell-O layer
- Dissolve the berry blue Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 cup cold water, then cool to room temperature until glossy and pourable.
- Pour the cooled blue Jell-O gently over the set strawberry layer, then refrigerate for 1 more hour until set.
Finish and slice
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top in an even layer.
- Chill for another 30 minutes until fully firm, then slice into rectangles to serve.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, chill between each Jell-O pour so the layers don’t mix, and cool the Jell-O only to room temperature (pourable, not starting to gel). Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended due to Jell-O texture. Dietary swap: use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping for a lighter version while keeping the same layering technique.
