Notes

Making the Strawberry Crunch Crumbles with Freeze-Dried Strawberries

  1. Gather your ingredients: To make the strawberry crunch topping, you will need the following:
    • Vanilla shortbread cookies or Golden Oreos - 14.3 ounces of either (this equals approximately 36 Oreos)
    • Melted butter - ½ cup
    • Freeze-dried strawberries - 1.2 ounces
  2. Crush the cookies: Place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Aim for a mix of small crumbles. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to break the cookies into small pieces.
  3. Mix with melted butter: Transfer the crushed cookies to a bowl, and slowly add the melted butter while stirring. Ensure that the butter is well incorporated into the cookie crumbs.
  4. Add strawberry flavor: Crush the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Mix the strawberry powder with the cookie mixture until the color is evenly distributed.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. 
  6. Spread the cookie mixture in a thin layer on the cookie sheet.
  7. Bake strawberry crunch topping for 8 minutes. 
  8. Remove from oven, place on cooling rack, and allow to cool completely.
