Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 24 Golden Oreos finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp butter melted
For the cream cheese layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping divided
For the Jell-O layers
  • 3 oz strawberry Jell-O
  • 3 oz berry blue Jell-O
  • 2 cup boiling water divided
  • 1 cup cold water divided

Method
 

Make the Oreo crust
  1. Mix the crushed Golden Oreos with the melted butter until evenly coated, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Add the cream cheese layer
  1. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread over the chilled crust and refrigerate while you make the Jell-O.
First Jell-O layer (strawberry)
  1. Dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water, stir in 1/2 cup cold water, and cool to room temperature without letting it set. Pour the cooled strawberry Jell-O gently over the cream cheese layer.
  2. Refrigerate for 1 hour until set, keeping the dish level. Look for a fully firm strawberry layer before adding the next color.
Second Jell-O layer (blueberry)
  1. Dissolve the berry blue Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water, stir in 1/2 cup cold water, and cool to room temperature. Pour the cooled blue Jell-O gently over the set strawberry layer.
  2. Refrigerate for 1 more hour until set, again keeping the dish level. The top should be fully jiggle-free at the edges.
Finish and serve
  1. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top, covering the entire surface. Chill for another 30 minutes.
  2. Slice into rectangles to serve, using a clean cut for each layer. Serve cold so the Jell-O stays firm.

Notes

For the cleanest layers, cool each Jell-O mixture to room temperature before pouring—if it starts to set, it can create streaks. Refrigerate covered up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the Jell-O texture can weep when thawed. For a lighter twist, use light whipped topping in place of regular whipped topping.
