    Strawberry Shortcake Crumb Topping

    If you've had those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars, you might have some idea how yummy this strawberry crunch topping is! It's got a bright, bold strawberry flavor, along with rich buttery vanilla crumbs just perfect for pairing with other desserts. Or if you're like me, you'll be tempted to eat it with a spoon!

    What are strawberry crunchies made of?

    Strawberry crunch topping (strawberry shortcake crumble) is made with just three ingredients: Golden Oreo cookies, freeze dried strawberries, and melted butter!

    • freeze-dried strawberries - these are the secret ingredient! They add tons of strawberry flavor and color without adding too much moisture. That way our strawberry crunch topping is the perfect texture!
    • Golden Oreos - I use a full 14-ounce package of Golden Oreos (or another similar vanilla sandwich cookie). It ends up being about 36 cookies.
    • salted butter - we'll bring this mixture together with some melted butter. Using salted butter helps to bring out the flavors in our strawberry crunch topping, but if you only have unsalted just add a few pinches of salt to taste.

    Equipment Needed

    I use a food processor to make this no bake strawberry crunch topping, and it was so easy! Or if you don't have a food processor, you can still make this strawberry crunch topping super easy by crushing the strawberries and cookies with a gallon-size freezer bag and a rolling pin.

    How do you make strawberry crumble with Golden Oreos?

    It's so easy! Just toss your freeze-dried strawberries and cookies into your food processor and pulse once or twice. Add in your melted butter and pulse again until the mixture reaches the consistency you like! If you don't have a food processor, just place the strawberries and cookies in a gallon-size freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into crumbs. Then transfer them both to a bowl and stir in your melted butter. That's it!

    Tips and F.A.Q.

    Can I make this a vegan strawberry shortcake crumble?

    You sure can! Since Golden Oreos are considered by many in the vegan community to be vegan, you can just swap out the butter in this recipe for vegan butter and you're good to go!

    Why is it called shortcake?

    Shortcake refers to a cake or biscuit that is crumbly or crispy. The "short" part of the name refers to the crisp texture, which is usually achieved by adding butter or another type of fat. In this strawberry shortcake crumb topping, we're not using a traditional shortcake, but it's more inspired by the beloved Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake frozen treat!

    What are Strawberry Shortcake popsicles made of?

    Strawberry Shortcake pops are made from milk, their cake crunch, water, corn syrup, and sugar, among other ingredients. Click here for full nutrition information.

      I love this with the freeze dried strawberries! Much better than the jello but it's not bad either in a pinch. Thanks for sharing.

      I love this easy recipe. I baked my own strawberry lemonade cake with this strawberry crunch topping for my birthday cake today, and I had to hide a few slices because everybody devoured it. Next time, I'll bake two. Thank you so much for the easy way.

          Wondering if I could put this on the cupcakes the night before (and store in the fridge) or will it get soggy? I'd love your feedback. This looks delicious!

          Hi! I think it might get soggy yes -- I'd suggest adding the topping just before serving.

      Enjoyed this on some ice cream for a midday treat, and it was delicious! Couldn't have been easier to make and was the perfect touch to otherwise boring ice cream!
