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

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking dish

Method
 

Make the crust
  1. Mix finely crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter until evenly combined, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the crust.
Assemble the first cream layer
  1. Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in half the whipped topping. Spread the mixture over the chilled crust and refrigerate while you prepare the Jell-O.
Add the strawberry Jell-O layer
  1. Dissolve strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until completely smooth, then stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Cool to room temperature and do not let it set.
  2. Pour the cooled strawberry Jell-O gently over the cream cheese layer, then refrigerate for 1 hour until set.
Add the blueberry Jell-O layer
  1. Dissolve berry blue Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until smooth, then stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Cool to room temperature before pouring.
  2. Pour the cooled blue Jell-O gently over the set strawberry layer, then refrigerate for 1 more hour until set.
Finish and chill
  1. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top layer. Chill for another 30 minutes, then slice into rectangles to serve.

Notes

For the cleanest layers, pour the cooled Jell-O slowly and evenly so it doesn’t disturb the cream layer; keep the strawberry and blue mixtures at room temperature and avoid letting them begin to set before they hit the dessert. Refrigerate leftovers covered for 3–4 days; freezing is not recommended because Jell-O and whipped topping can change texture when thawed. For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-calorie whipped topping if desired, keeping the same chilling times.
