Ingredients
Scale
- 1 strawberry cake mix
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 20 golden oreos, about ½ standard package
- 4 tablespoons strawberry gelatin, the remaining amount
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine ½ cup melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin until well blended; note the batter will be thick.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely afterward.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until combined, then mix in the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Once the brownies have cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.
- Using a food processor, pulse the golden Oreos into crumbs, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
- Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the Oreo crumbs and drizzle with the melted butter. Pulse briefly until combined.
- Distribute the cookie crumbles evenly over the frosting and lightly press down to adhere.
- Cut the brownies into squares and serve.
Notes
Make sure the brownies are completely cooled for better frosting application.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
