Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (90 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- About 20 Golden Oreos, crushed
- 2 cups (300 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- Optional: squeeze of lemon juice
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Crush the Golden Oreos using a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until crumbly. Set aside about 1/3 of the crumbs for topping.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the airy texture.
- Hull and slice the strawberries, then toss gently with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
- In a trifle bowl or individual glasses, layer crushed Golden Oreo crumbs, cheesecake filling, and sliced strawberries. Repeat layers until the top, finishing with reserved Oreo crumbs and strawberry slices.
- Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let flavors meld and filling set.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Use gentle folding to keep filling airy. Chill trifle overnight for best texture and flavor melding. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with dairy-free alternatives. For gluten-free, use gluten-free golden sandwich cookies.
