Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (About 14 oz / 400g)
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter (85g, melted)
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese (450g, softened)
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (120g)
  • 8 oz Whipped Topping (225g, thawed)
  • 21 oz Strawberry Pie Filling (600g)
  • 21 oz Blueberry Pie Filling (600g)
  • 8 oz Whipped Topping (225g, for topping)
  • 2 tbsp Star-Shaped Sprinkles (Red, white, and blue)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs.
  2. Mix the Cookie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Mix until all the crumbs are moistened.
  3. Create the Crust Layer: Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pop the crust into the freezer while you prepare the next layers.
  4. Whip Together Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well incorporated.
  5. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in one 8-ounce container of thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Layer the Cream Cheese Mixture: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
  7. Add the Strawberry Layer: Spoon and spread the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Repeat with the Next Layer: Add the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberry layer, smoothing it out carefully, then top with the blueberry pie filling.
  9. Final Topping: Finish by adding the remaining whipped topping over the blueberry layer.
  10. Chill and Set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or overnight if possible.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, sprinkle with star-shaped sprinkles for a festive touch.
