Pro Tips for Success:

  • Try different cookies. Swap in chocolate cookies or vanilla wafers for fun flavor twists in the crust.

  • Add a touch of lemon. A splash of lemon juice in the filling gives a bright, tangy kick that balances the sweet.

  • Add a swirl. Gently swirl a spoonful of extra strawberry gelatin on top before chilling for a pretty marble effect.

  • Top it your way. Add whipped cream, mint leaves, or extra cookie crumbs on top for that wow factor!
