Method
Make the Oreo crust
- Mix finely crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter until evenly coated, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish for a compact base. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the crust.
Make the cream cheese layer
- Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in half the whipped topping. Spread the mixture over the chilled crust, then refrigerate while you prepare the Jell-O.
Layer 1: strawberry Jell-O
- Dissolve strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water, then cool to room temperature without letting it set.
- Pour the cooled strawberry Jell-O gently over the cream cheese layer to keep it level. Refrigerate for 1 hour until set.
Layer 2: blueberry Jell-O
- Dissolve berry blue Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water, then cool to room temperature.
- Pour the cooled blue Jell-O gently over the set strawberry layer. Refrigerate for 1 more hour until set.
Finish and serve
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top to seal in the layers. Chill for another 30 minutes, then slice into rectangles to serve.
Notes
Pro tip: keep the cooled Jell-O at pourable room temperature and do not let it set—this prevents uneven layers and keeps the cream cheese layer smooth. Refrigerate covered up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the Jell-O texture can break down when thawed. Dietary swap: use reduced-fat cream cheese (and a reduced-fat whipped topping) to lower overall calories while keeping the same layering method.
