Brownie Base

Preheat the oven to 350℉.

Grease an 8"x8" baking dish with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.

Using a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the strawberry cake mix, eggs, 2 Tablespoons of strawberry jello mix, and ½ cup of melted butter. Make sure there aren't any clumps left.

Scoop the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula or clean hands to flatten and spread the batter evenly.

Bake at 350℉ for 25 minutes.

Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.

Once the brownies are cooled completely, slice sideways to make the top even. If your brownies come out flat, ignore this step.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Add cream cheese, vanilla, and ¼ cup of butter to a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer until combined.

Add the powdered sugar and heavy cream and beat until it's a fluffy and smooth mixture.

Scoop the frosting onto the cooled cake and spread it evenly.

Cookie Crumble

Add the golden Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you get crumbs with some big chunks.

Add the crumbs to a large zip top bag and add the 4 Tablespoons of melted butter and the 4 Tablespoons of strawberry jello powder. Zip it up and shake it around until everything is completely coated.

Sprinkle the Oreo mixture over the top of the frosting and lightly pat it to make sure it sticks in place.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Jello Intensity Hack 🍓
Toast the Oreo cookie crumble before mixing with strawberry Jello mix to intensify the flavor complexity and add a deeper caramelized note.
Cream Cheese Temperature Trick 🧀
Always let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before mixing to ensure a smoother, lump-free cheesecake layer with perfect spreadability.
Brownie Layer Moisture Control 💧
Add an extra egg yolk to your strawberry cake mix base to create a more fudgy, dense brownie texture that holds up beautifully against the cream cheese topping.
Color Gradient Magic 🌈
Gently swirl the strawberry Jello mixture into the cream cheese layer using a toothpick to create beautiful marbled color patterns that look professionally designed.
Cooling Technique Perfection ❄️
Refrigerate the brownies for at least 2 hours before cutting to ensure clean, sharp edges and allow flavors to fully meld together.
