  • Baking Sheet
  • Food processor or blender
  • Small Bowl
  • Large Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Hand Mixer
  • 4 dessert cups or glasses

Ingredients

  • 10 Vanilla wafer cookie extra for decoration optional
  • 2 tsp butter melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temp
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tsp Cointreau or preferred orange liqour, optional
  • 3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 350F. Crush the vanilla wafer cookies in a blender or food processor to a crumble. In a small bowl add the cookie crumbs and the melted butter and mix to coat.
  • Spread the cookie crumbs evenly over a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 7-8 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and set aside.

Notes

Substitutions:
  • Any berries, mango, peaches or bananas can be used to replace strawberries or a combo of these.
  • Cointreau is optional and can be swapped for additional orange juice or an alternative orange liquor.
Notes:
  • These can be made a day ahead of time with the cookie crumble being added only right before serving to avoid the crumble from losing its crunch.
