Strawberry Filling:
Place sliced strawberries in a large saucepan; sprinkle with dry strawberry Jello powder; stir gently to evenly coat the berries. Heat over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently. Heat just until the Jello completely dissolves in strawberry juice (DO NOT cook too long or the strawberries will become mushy). Set aside to cool.
Crust:
Place whole Oreo cookies with the filling in a food processor; pulse into fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter; stir until all crumbs are evenly moistened. Set aside ¼ of the mixture for topping. Press the remaining mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch dish. Place in the refrigerator or freezer.
Filling:
Mix cold heavy whipping cream with vanilla until soft peaks form. Add ¾ c. powdered sugar; continue mixing, until stiff peaks form; set aside. This makes about 6-6 ½ c. whipped cream. This whipped cream can be substituted with refrigerated Cool Whip, if desired.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter, cream cheese and vanilla; mix in remaining powdered sugar; fold in prepared whipped cream.
Spread ½ of the cream cheese whipped cream mixture over the crust. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Spoon filling over the cream cheese layer; smooth the top; place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until the Jello has set.
Spread remaining cream cheese filling over the strawberry layer; smooth the top; refrigerate for 4 hours or preferably overnight.
Strawberry Crunch Topping:
Stir reserved Oreo crumbs with coarsely crushed freeze-dried strawberries; sprinkle on top.
Serve cold from the refrigerator., garnished with fresh strawberries, if desired.
12-16 servings.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days.
