Strawberry Cream Dream Bars

Line an 8 X 8-inch baking pan with parchment, so that you can easily remove the bars to evenly slice and serve.
In a medium bowl, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir and melt for another 5-10 seconds, if necessary.
In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos (with filling!) until they are fine crumbs. Add the cookie crumbs to the melted butter and mix with a rubber spatula until all is well incorporated.
Pour into the prepared baking pan and spread, pressing down to create an even crust. Place pan into the freezer while preparing the rest of the recipe, a minimum of 30 minutes.

Into a 2-cup measuring glass, mix the strawberry gelatin with 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add the 3/4 cup cold water and stir. Place into refrigerator until completely cooled, but not set - about 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of the cream cheese with the red food coloring.
Slowly pour in the chilled gelatin mix while mixing everything together. Once completely smooth, place into refrigerator to chill and thicken for one hour. *See Note.

In a mixing bowl, beat the second 8 ounces of cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla together until smooth and creamy. With a rubber spatula, fold in one cup of the Cool Whip.
Place dollops of cheesecake mixture onto the frozen crust and with an offset spatula, spread to form an even layer.
Slice or chop half of the fresh strawberries and evenly spread them over the cheesecake in a single layer. Reserve the other half for serving and decorating each slice.

After the Strawberry Cream mixture has been refrigerated for an hour, fold in the remaining Cool Whip (about 2 cups) with a rubber spatula, combining until evenly distributed and smooth.
Gently pour the strawberry cream onto the cheesecake layer and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
Place into the refrigerator overnight or for a minimum of 6 hours
When slicing, remove the bars from the entire pan by lifting them out in the parchment. Run a large knife under hot water, dry off, and then slice through the bars, repeating with each cut. This will help make clean cuts.
Serve with dollops of additional Cool Whip of my Stabilized Whipped Cream and fresh strawberries.
