Ingredients for Strawberry Shortcake Brownies:

½ cup of salted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 tbsp of strawberry gelatin

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 (8oz) block of cream cheese, softened
¼ cup of salted butter, softened

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Brownies:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F, then line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, and grease it with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and strawberry gelatin, then beat them until thickened and combined, and transfer it to the prepared baking dish using a rubber spatula making sure to spread it evenly.

Step 2

Place it in the preheated oven, then let it bake for about 25 minutes, and place it on the counter to cool completely. In another bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla, then beat them until combined, add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, and continue beating until smooth and fluffy. Put the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies, then spread it evenly, and set it aside.

Step 3

In a food processor, add the Golden Oreos, then pulse them until crushed with some large chunks, and add in the remaining strawberry gelatin along with the melted butter. Pulse them again to combine, then sprinkle the cookie crumble mixture over the strawberry frosting layer, and press it down to the frosting. Serve and enjoy!
