Ingredients Breakdown

Here’s what you’ll need for each decadent layer:

Golden Oreo Crust

• 36 Golden Oreo cookies (with filling)

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Strawberry Layer

• 4.5 oz strawberry-flavored gelatin

• 2/3 cup boiling water

• ¾ cup cold strawberry Greek yogurt

• 1 cup diced fresh strawberries

• 2 ¼ cups Cool Whip

Cheesecake Layer

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1 ¼ cup Cool Whip

Blueberry Layer

• 4.5 oz berry blue gelatin

• 2/3 cup boiling water

• ½ cup blueberry Greek yogurt

• 1 cup fresh blueberries

• 2 ¼ cups Cool Whip

Topping

• 2 ½ to 3 cups Cool Whip

• 6 oz white chocolate bar (for curls)

• ½ cup diced strawberries

• ½ cup fresh blueberries

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Crush the Golden Oreos—including the cream—in a food processor until you get fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and freeze for 10-15 minutes to set.

2. Make the Strawberry Layer

In a heatproof bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in boiling water. Whisk in cold strawberry Greek yogurt until fully combined. Fold in diced strawberries and Cool Whip until smooth. Spread evenly over the crust and freeze for 25-30 minutes.

3. Add the Cheesecake Layer

Cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fold in Cool Whip and spread gently over the set strawberry layer. Freeze again for 10 minutes to firm up.

4. Make the Blueberry Layer

Dissolve berry blue Jello in boiling water. In a food processor, pulse blueberry Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries until mostly smooth. Stir into the Jello mixture and fold in Cool Whip. Pour over the cheesecake layer and smooth the top. Refrigerate until set.

5. Top It Off

Once fully set, spread a final layer of Cool Whip across the top. Use a vegetable peeler to create white chocolate curls and sprinkle them over the whipped topping. Garnish with additional diced strawberries and fresh blueberries.

Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours before serving—or overnight for best results.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 9x13x2-inch baking dish

• Food processor

• Mixing bowls (at least 3)

• Hand mixer or stand mixer

• Rubber spatula

• Measuring cups and spoons

• Vegetable peeler (for white chocolate curls)

• Whisk

Recipe Tips & Variations

• Short on time? Use store-bought whipped topping throughout to save effort.

• Can’t find berry blue Jello? Substitute with grape or raspberry and swap blueberries for matching fruit.

• Want it less sweet? Use plain Greek yogurt instead of flavored, or reduce powdered sugar in the cheesecake layer.

• Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free sandwich cookies for the crust.

• Go tropical: Use mango and pineapple instead of strawberry and blueberry for a sunny variation.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze individual slices for up to 1 month—just be aware that texture may soften slightly upon thawing.

To freeze:
Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

Food & Drink Pairings

Pair this vibrant dessert with:

• A glass of chilled Moscato or sparkling lemonade

• A cup of green tea for a light afternoon treat

• Serve alongside grilled fruit skewers or a berry fruit salad for a full summer spread

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dessert in advance?

Yes! It’s ideal for making a day ahead. Chill overnight to allow layers to fully set and flavors to meld.

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

You can—but make sure it’s stabilized (add gelatin or cornstarch) to maintain the texture in layers.

Can I use low-fat or non-fat yogurt?

Absolutely. Greek yogurt of any fat content works well in this recipe.

What’s the best way to cut clean slices?

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts for the neatest presentation.

Can I make this in a smaller pan?

You can halve the recipe for an 8×8-inch dish, but be aware that layers will be thicker.
