Instructions
Making the Strawberry Crunch:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In one bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1/4 cup softened butter and 1/4 cup flour until it forms a thick paste.
- In another bowl, do the same with the strawberry jello mix.
- Combine the two doughs slightly, but don’t mix too much.
- Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let it cool down to room temperature, or speed it up by putting it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Crumble the cooled mixture with your hands until it resembles strawberry crunch crumble. Set it aside.
Making the Soft Serve:
- In a bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Once whipped cream is ready, add it to a stand mixer along with the vanilla ice cream. Mix until smooth.
Assembly:
- Fill a cup halfway with the soft serve.
- Add strawberry sauce, chopped Oreos, and strawberry crunch.
- Fill the rest of the cup with soft serve and top it off with more strawberry crunch.
