Instructions

Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
Make Brownie Base:
- In a large bowl, mix together strawberry cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and strawberry gelatin until well combined. The batter will be thick—don’t worry, that’s perfect!
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake:
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until the brownies are set and slightly firm to the touch.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting.
Prepare Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the powdered sugar and beat until well-combined.
- Add heavy cream as needed to reach a smooth, fluffy consistency.
Spread Frosting:
- Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
Make Crumble:
- In a food processor, pulse Golden Oreos until coarsely crushed.
- Add strawberry gelatin and melted butter, then pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Top Brownies:
- Sprinkle the strawberry shortcake crumble evenly over the frosted brownies, pressing down gently so it sticks.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Cut into squares and serve. These beauties are as delicious as they are gorgeous!

Notes

For best results, refrigerate the brownies for about 30 minutes before cutting to allow the frosting to firm up.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To freeze, wrap individual brownie squares in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months.
