Notes

👩‍🍳 Pro Tips for Perfect Strawberry Lasagna

  • Use chilled whipped topping for easier spreading.
  • For firmer layers, refrigerate each section a bit longer.
  • Make this dessert a day ahead—it gets even better overnight!

🍽️ Serving & Storing

Keep strawberry lasagna refrigerated until ready to serve. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. This dessert does not freeze well due to the gelatin and whipped topping.

🔨 No Food Processor? No Problem!

If you don’t have a food processor, you can still make a perfect golden Oreo crust:
  1. Place the cookies in a large zip-top bag.
  2. Seal the bag and use a rolling pin, heavy glass, or meat mallet to crush the cookies into fine crumbs.
  3. Pour the crumbs into a mixing bowl.
  4. Melt the butter and stir it into the crumbs until fully combined.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into your 13x9-inch dish using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass for an even layer.
This method works just as well and is great for getting kids involved in the kitchen!
