Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 15.25 oz white cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 oz strawberry jello 2 - three-ounce boxes
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 8 oz cool whip
  • 20 golden Oreos crushed
  • ¼ unsalted butter melted

Fresh strawberries are optional

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°.
    • Grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
    • Prepare the cake mix according to the back of the box instructions.
    • Add the batter to the prepared dish and bake according to box instructions.
    • Cool the cake completely.
    • Once cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all around the top of the cake.
    • In a small mixing bowl add one box of jello and boiling water. Mix until dissolved and then stir in the cold water and mix once again.
    • Pour that mixture over the cake holes, making sure to pour over each hole.
    • Cover and place it in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
    • The next day, spread the cool whip over the top of the cake. Almost using the entire container.
    • Crush the golden Oreos.
    • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then add to the crushed cookies and mix.
    • Then add the other box of jello powder to the buttery cookie mix and stir well.
    • Sprinkle this jello-cookie mixture over the top of the whipped cream and lightly press down to make sure the crumbs stick into the cool whip.
    • Slice and serve! Add a fresh strawberry for garnish - if desired.

    Notes

    Crush up the Oreos in either a food processor or smashing it in a zip lock bag!
    Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days!
