Strawberry Lush Cake

Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 18 Golden Oreos
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 (8 ounce boxes) cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 cups strawberries hulled (1 1/2 cups chopped and 2 1/2 cups sliced)
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Spray 8 x 11 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pulse oreos in food processor until crumbed. Combine with melted butter. Press into casserole dish evenly and place in freezer.
  3. In stand mixer combine cream cheese, sugar and orange extract. Mix on medium high until well combined and creamy; scraping the sides. Fold in sour cream and chopped strawberries. Evenly spread over the cookie crust. Freeze for 1 hour.
  4. Add sliced strawberries evenly over dessert and place back in freezer while you make the whipped cream.
  5. Add whipping cream & powdered sugar to mixing bowl. Beat just until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over dessert. Serve immediately.
Notes
When whipping cream it is helpful to put your mixing bowl and beater in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to making. You can make this in a 9 x 13 but I would increase the Oreo cookies to 25 with 4 tablespoons of butter and add 3 cups of sliced strawberries.
