Ingredients
Method
Make the Oreo crust
- 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
- 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)
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.
- 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
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top, covering the entire surface. Chill for another 30 minutes.
- 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.
