Ingredients
Scale
- 1 strawberry cake mix
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 20 golden oreos, about ½ standard package
- 4 tablespoons strawberry gelatin, the remaining amount
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons of strawberry gelatin until well mixed; the batter will be thick.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely afterwards.
- In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, continuing to mix until fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies evenly.
- Using a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos until they form chunks, ensuring some larger pieces remain.
- Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the crushed cookies, drizzle with melted butter, and blend a bit more until combined.
- Sprinkle the cookie crumbles over the brownies and press them down gently into the frosting.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to maintain the perfect texture.
For added flavor, try using a mix of cream cheese and whipped topping in the frosting.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
