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
- Spray 8 x 11 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pulse oreos in food processor until crumbed. Combine with melted butter. Press into casserole dish evenly and place in freezer.
- 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.
- Add sliced strawberries evenly over dessert and place back in freezer while you make the whipped cream.
- 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.

Can I use a hand mixer for the Oreos instead of food processor? Don’t have processor
Beth Pierce
Just load them in a Ziploc storage bag and break them up with a rubber mallet or rolling pin.
Giera
I will definitely try this recipe.
Thanks for sharing-))
Jude
Could a Graham cracker crust be substituted instead of the cookies?
Beth Pierce
Yes that would be delicious as well! Enjoy!!
Cindy Fine

Beth Pierce

connie bounds
can you use any other fruit –im allergic to strawberries— raspberries or black caps
Beth Pierce
Yes you can. Sounds like a plan!!
Ajay
Do you take out the cream of the Golden Oreos ? Cookies
Beth Pierce
No please leave the cream in the cookies.
Susan
Recipe doesn’t say whether you remove the cream centers from the Oreos. If so, could you use those Pepperidge Farms Chessman cookies instead? I love the flavor of those.
Beth Pierce
You do not remove the cream filling. You could try it with the Chessman cookies. If it seems too dry to press together add 1-2 tablespoons more butter.
Susan
OK, I guess it would be like making a graham cracker crust but with the cookies instead. Will try that, thanks!
Kim cardwell
Can you use frozen berries ?
Beth Pierce
I do not recommend it because the added moisture might make the crust soggy. Sorry!!
Madhuri
Hi! I can not find sour cream in my place. Is there a way to make sour cream at home or substitute for this? Thank you. Really want to try this. Looks so yummy.
bpierce
You can substitute plain Greek yogurt! 😉
Janie
I’ll be making this for a family get together, could this be made a head of time and put in freezer?
bpierce
I would not freeze after putting on the whipped cream. You could make this up to the whipped cream part and store tightly covered in the freezer. Remove and add the whipped cream before leaving for the party. Love a good party!
Janie
thanks I will be making this for sure!
Gloria
Does it refrigerate well? I would like to make it in the morning and serve it for guests in evening
bpierce
Yes it does refrigerate well. Sounds like a plan! 🙂
Cindy
Could you use blueberries instead
bpierce
Yes indeed you could. I love blueberries!!!
Chelle
I have some pecan sandies..thinking of using them for the crust. Has anyone else tried this idea. Recipe sounds very good
WR Hockett
My Mother used to make a dessert that actually called for Pecan Sandies, so I say yes.
Beth Pierce
Sounds like a great plan. 😉
Vicky
I don’t have orange extract, and I likely won’t purchase any. How about orange zest instead?
bpierce
Yeah I think that might work. Let us know!
Mary
I have made this up to the cream cheese, sour cream strawberry mixture….in freezer just now. Can I wait until tomorrow to add last layer of whipped cream, strawberry mixture…right before serving?
It already smells delicious!
bpierce
Yes you can wait. I would cover real good in the freezer. Take out while you are making the whipped cream since you will have it in the freezer all night. Add the strawberries and the whipped cream and serve! 🙂
Mary
Thank you…I did cover….I will let you know what my friends and I think!
bpierce
Sounds great. Let me know what you think Mary!
Mary
It was a huge hit! Refreshing, light , and yummy!
bpierce
Oh so glad it was a hit. You are getting my Friday off to a great start! 🙂
Elizabeth
This sounds delicious & my Granddaughter loves strawberries. I do not have a stand up mixer only a good portable one – can this be used for the cream cheese mixing step??
bpierce
Yes indeed you can!! 🙂
Peggy
I made this for a 4th July Family party. wow was it good! I ate more than I should have but it was Love at first bite.
bpierce
That is too sweet. Thank you so much. LOVE the compliments so much!!
heidi
Can you substitute vanilla extract for the orange?
bpierce
Yes of course you can. It will give you a little bit of a different flavor but still delish!!
Kathy
Sorry that was to have said *try instead of fry….lol.
Kathy
Can you use regular whipped cream that’s already prepared instead of the whipping cream? …and if so….do you still add the powered sugar? Thanks for the recipe…always love to fry things made with strawberries.
bpierce
Sure you can use prepared whipped cream and skip the powdered sugar. I knew what you meant. 🙂
Gwilda Gribble
Do you mean freeze in freezer or should you have used refrigerator. Didn’t quite understand freezing the fresh berries. Do you make day before or few hrs before serving. Sounds good.
Thanks!!!
bpierce
You should just place in freezer just in the intervals that are called for. That is to help freeze the layers to make the different layers easier to spread. When complete it should be stored in the refrigerator. Please let me know if you need more clarification. Happy cooking!
richalle
How do you store the leftovers, in the fridge or freezer?
Thank you
bpierce
Fridge! Sorry about the delay!
Brandi
Made this last summer! It was delish. It would be good with a vanilla wafer or shortbread crust too. Definitely worth making again.
Beth Pierce
Thank you! Yes it would be!
