Make Strawberry Jell-O And Golden Oreos Into This Old-Fashioned Dessert Topping
Sometimes the best kitchen creations come from the most unsuspecting places. Social media has proven this in spades, with everything from butter boards to pancake cereal flooding our feeds. It just goes to show that if you think outside the box, you really can make the most delicious snacks and dessert toppings using just a few simple ingredients. A perfect example is an old-school crumble that combines butter with two everyday pantry items: powdered Jell-O and Golden Oreos.
This three-ingredient strawberry topping has circulated online for good reason. It has been likened to the coating of a classic Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar. Moreover, you can use it to amp up so many different treats. It may well make the perfect addition to an ultimate sundae, a traditional trifle, or a cream pie. You could even use this sweet and buttery creation to top a fruity smoothie bowl, plain yogurt, or a piece of buttered toast. A crumble can also add new complexity to almost any layer cake or pie.
Make a three-ingredient strawberry crumble topping
All you have to do to make this mixture is pulse the Oreos in a food processor or smash them with a rolling pin until they resemble large breadcrumbs and then add the dry Jell-O mix. Pour in just enough melted butter to coat everything and stir until mixed thoroughly. That's it.
The recipe is simple but there are a few things to keep in mind. You don't want to grind the cookies too finely — leave some chunks for the best texture. Also, make sure you use the full Oreo, filling included, as that's where all the creamy flavor is. Don't use too much butter (a few tablespoons should do it) and pour slowly so the crumbs don't get soggy.
You can eat the mixture without baking but some cooks like to crisp it in the oven for a few minutes. And any vanilla sandwich cookies will do, including gluten-free ones. If you want to switch up the flavor for chocolate, use regular Oreos. You can also experiment with the gelatin — a lemon crumble would be delicious on a lemon meringue pie and key lime pie can always use a crunchy upgrade. No matter what you go for, just make sure to store the crumble in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
