Creamsicle or dreamsicle?

Creamsicle and dreamsicle really mean the same thing. So, if you have heard dreamsicle before you’re thinking of the right flavor.

What ingredients are needed for this recipe?

• Golden Oreos: Make sure you get golden Oreos and not lemon Oreos. Both come in a yellow package. I recommend just the regular golden Oreos, not the double stuffed or thin variety.
• French vanilla instant pudding: You’ll want to make sure you get instant pudding and not the cook and serve kind. French vanilla is better than just vanilla for creating the dreamsicle flavor. Do not prepare the mix.
• Orange gelatin mix: Do not prepare the mix.
• Vanilla coating: Mine was called “vanilla candy coating” and I used 2-3 ounces.
• Fresh strawberries: Clean, wash, and pat them dry.

You will also need a food processor, wax paper, and cooking spray. I also recommend using a fork or a skewer for dipping the strawberries in the vanilla coating.

A note about vanilla coating

I’ve found that vanilla candy coating works best for this recipe. Using a double boiler is always best for melting candy coating. Many packages of melting wafers or candy coating will claim you can melt in the microwave but the coating can get scorched or melt unevenly.

If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a larger pot and a smaller pot. Fill a larger pot about half way with water and then spray the smaller pot with non-stick spray. Add the vanilla coating bars and let it melt over medium heat while stirring frequently.

If it seems too thick, lower the heat and then add a tablespoon or two of half and half. Stir well.

How long are these strawberries good for?

These strawberries are good for about two days in your refrigerator, if they don’t all get eaten first!

Tips for this recipe

• These creamsicle covered strawberries with Oreos are best the day of but can last for up to two days in your fridge.
• Make sure you use instant pudding mix for this recipe. Do not prepare the mix.

How to make creamsicle covered strawberries

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper (not wax paper).
• Lightly spray a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper with non-stick spray and then set aside.
• Run your Oreos through a food processor until they are finely crushed. You do not need to remove the filling, just run them through as is.
• In a mixing bowl add the finely crushed Oreos, 2 tablespoons of pudding mix, and 1 tablespoon of orange gelatin mix. Mix well and set aside.
• Spread on the baking sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Check at 5 minutes to turn over. Let it cool.
• Preferably in a double boiler, heat and melt your vanilla coating (stir frequently).
• Dip your strawberries one at a time into the vanilla coating and then dip in the Oreo crumbles, gelatin, and pudding mix right after.
• Set the dipped strawberry on the wax paper to set.
• Continue until all strawberries have been dipped.
• Let them set for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator and then serve.
