#916 - Strawberry Oreo Cookie Whip

(by Shirley McNevich)

4 cups fresh strawberries
1 - 14oz. can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 - 8oz. Cool Whip (thawed)
8 Oreo cookies
1 TBSP butter (melted)

Line a bread loaf pan with foil. In a large bowl mash 2 cups of the strawberries with a potato masher. Add the Eagle brand milk to the strawberries--stir. Add lemon juice--stir. Add 2 cups of the Cool Whip--stir. Pour the strawberry mixture into the foil lined bread loaf pan. Crush the Oreo cookies finely into a small bowl--add the melted butter--stir. Spread the cookie mixture evenly over the top of the strawberry mixture. Use the back of a spoon to lightly press the Oreo cookie mixture into the strawberry mixture. Cover the top of the loaf pan with foil. Freeze the entire thing overnight. The next day remove it from the freezer, remove the foil from the top, and invert it onto a plate--if any of the foil sticks to it, peel it off. Frost the loaf with the other 2 cups of Cool Whip. Slice the remaining 2 cups of strawberries and arrange them on top of the Cool Whip frosting. Slice like bread to serve.

I saw this in a magazine and thought it looked AMAZING! I went to my house and tried it and shared it with some friends. Brilliant! Great taste and everything! Highly recommend it. It only took me 15 minutes + the overnight freezing. Thank you!!!

This is a terrific recipe. I have made it serveral times and there are never leftovers. I changed it a bit. I do not mash the strawberries. I dice them, so they it has a nice "chunky" texture. Another suggestion. Do not eat this immediately after taking it out of the freezer. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, otherwise it is so cold, it seems tasteless. To garnish, I take large strawberries, "fan them", leaving their stems on, and make chocolate leaves. Makes a nice presentation. I wind up spending more time garnishing it that it takes to "throw" this dessert together. IT IS A WONDERFULLY REFRESHING DESSERT!
