Equipment

Ingredients

Strawberry Cake:

1 box strawberry cake mix
Ingredients listed on box typically eggs, oil, and water

Strawberry Crunch Topping:

15 Golden Oreo cookies crushed
2 ounces strawberry gelatin mix about ½ standard packet
3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Whipped Cream:Topping

2 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the strawberry cake according to the box instructions and bake in a 9x13 pan . Let cool.
Allow the cake to cool completely, then crumble it into chunks using your hands or a fork.
In a bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreo cookies with the strawberry gelatin mix and melted butter, then mix until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer and bake for 8–10 minutes until slightly crisp and fragrant.
Remove the crunch topping from the oven and allow it to cool completely, where it will continue to crisp up as it sets.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form and the whipped cream holds its shape.
Spoon a layer of strawberry cake crumbles into the bottom of each dessert cup.
Add a layer of whipped cream over the cake, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle a layer of the cooled strawberry crunch topping over the whipped cream.
Repeat the layers with more cake, whipped cream, and crunch topping until the cups are filled.
Finish with extra strawberry crunch topping on top.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set slightly.
