Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment and spray with non-stick spray.
In a bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin. Mix until thick and well combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until mixed. Add powdered sugar and heavy cream; continue to mix until fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies.
Using a food processor, pulse Golden Oreos until coarse crumbs remain, with some larger pieces.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the crumbs and drizzle with melted butter. Pulse until mixed well.
Sprinkle the cookie mixture over the brownie layer and gently press it down into the frosting.
Cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Ensure to cool the brownies completely before frosting them for the best texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of heavy cream for desired consistency of frosting.
Leftover brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
