Instructions

Prepare the Strawberry Shortcake Crunch: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for easy cleanup.
Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor or placing the golden Oreos in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, break the cookies into fine crumbs.
Mix with strawberry jello and butter: Transfer the crushed Oreos into a mixing bowl. Add the 1/2 packet of strawberry jello powder, then drizzle with the melted butter. Let the mixture rest for 30-60 seconds so the butter can absorb evenly, then stir to combine thoroughly.
Bake the crunch: Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 7-8 minutes at 350°F until the mixture sets into a crunchy texture. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely.
Prepare the McFlurry base: In a blender, combine the 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 3 oz frozen Cool Whip, and 1 tablespoon milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the McFlurry: In a clear glass or dessert cup, layer some of the blended soft serve mixture and a layer of the cooled strawberry shortcake crunch. Repeat the layers once more for a visually appealing dessert.
Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture with the crunchy strawberry shortcake bits.

Notes

Ensure the strawberry shortcake crunch is fully cooled before layering to keep it crunchy.
You can substitute Cool Whip with whipped cream if preferred, but the texture may differ slightly.
For a stronger strawberry flavor, drizzle a small amount of strawberry syrup over the layers.
Use a clear glass for layering to showcase the dessert visually.
Store leftover crunch in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
