Main Ingredients
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 20 golden Oreo cookies (or vanilla sandwich cookies)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crumble base: Place the freeze-dried strawberries and golden Oreo cookies in a food processor.
- Pulse mixture: Pulse the ingredients until you achieve a crumbly mixture with small chunks remaining, ensuring the texture isn’t too fine.
- Add butter: Pour in the melted unsalted butter and pulse a few more times to evenly coat the mixture, creating a uniformly crumbly texture.
- Sweeten (optional): If you prefer extra sweetness, stir in 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the mixture and blend lightly to combine.
- Use or store: Use the strawberry crunch immediately as a topping, or spread it evenly onto a baking sheet to let it dry slightly at room temperature before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- This strawberry crunch topping is a perfect complement for ice cream, cakes, cupcakes, yogurt, or milkshakes.
- For a more vibrant pink color, add a drop of natural red food coloring.
- Store the crunch topping in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
