• 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For the Strawberry Layer:

• 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Topping:

• Extra cookie crumbs

• A few whole or sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crunch Layer:
   In a bowl, mix crushed vanilla cookies (or golden Oreos) with melted butter. Stir in crushed freeze-dried strawberries if using. Press half of this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass dish to form a firm base. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined and fluffy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble the Layers:
   Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust using a spatula. Add the strawberry pie filling evenly over the cream layer. Gently press sliced fresh strawberries into the filling.

4. Add the Final Crunch:
   Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumb mixture over the top to form a crunchy layer. Press down lightly to help it stick.

5. Chill and Serve:
   Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours to set. For best results, let it chill overnight. Slice and serve cold, garnished with fresh strawberry slices if desired.
