Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Golden Oreos
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and slice about 2 cups of fresh strawberries into thin slices. Set aside to drain slightly.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream with 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using.
- In an 8×8 inch glass or ceramic dish, layer about 8 broken Golden Oreos to fit the dish.
- Spread about one-third of the whipped cream over the cookies.
- Scatter a layer of sliced strawberries over the cream.
- Repeat layering with cookies, cream, and strawberries, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow cookies to soften and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with whole strawberries or crushed Golden Oreos if desired. Slice with a sharp serrated knife and serve chilled.
Notes
Chill the heavy cream and mixing bowl before whipping for best results. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if cookies feel too firm. Use a serrated knife for cleaner slices. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free cookies. For gluten-free, use gluten-free vanilla sandwich cookies.
