    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!

    No-Bake Strawberry Crunch Topping

    This easy strawberry shortcake crumb topping is a no-bake recipe, and only requires three ingredients! It couldn't be easier to make, and you'll be making it so often!

    What are Strawberry Shortcake crumbs made of?

    • 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.

        You want to use freeze-dried strawberries, not frozen -- you can usually find them in the grocery aisle near the dried fruit. Enjoy! 🙂

        Hi can this be rolled onto unbaked cookies then baked in an oven? Like when using sprinkles? This looks so good.

          I haven't tried this recipe in the oven -- only on finished treats as a topping. If you do try baking it onto cookies let me know how it works for you! 🙂

          I tried this recipe on top of strawberry muffins before I baked them and they turned out amazing! The crumb was a very nice compliment to the muffin and tasted great and I had no problems with baking the crumb on top of the muffins.
          I also used the crumb to top strawberry cupcakes with vanilla frosting and strawberry frosting and it tasted great on both of them.

      Let me just say freeze dried strawberries are so under estimated, they provide so much flavor. This Strawberry Shortcake is so good and so easy to make . We had this on top of a big scoop of ice cream.

      Strawberry shortcake bars have always been my favorite thing from the ice cream truck, so I kinda freaked when I saw this. Just made it to throw on top of some strawberry muffins and, holy sh** it’s so good I’ve eaten like half of it so far. Thank you for an awesome, easy recipe!
