Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Place the Golden Oreos into the food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs

Place the Oreo crumbs in a medium mixing bowl and then add the melted butter and salt. Stir until all of the ingredients are well mixed.

Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use a spatula or the bottom of a glass to press it into an even layer.

Place the baking pan in the freezer for 30 minutes while you prepare the cream cheese filling.

Place the softened cream cheese and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat on medium high speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing after each addition until all of the sugar is incorporated.

Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula fold in one 8 oz tub of cool whip into the cream cheese mixture.

Add in the strawberries that have been diced and patted dry. Fold them in until they are evenly distributed.

Remove the crust from the freezer and then using a spatula spread the cheesecake layer evenly across the crust. Place the baking pan back into the freezer while preparing the strawberry gelatin layer.

In a medium size mixing bowl combine the dry strawberry Jello powder with the boiling water and stir until the gelatin powder is fully dissolved.

Add in the ice water (it should be 3/4 cup water with water and ice.) Mix until the ice is completely melted. The mixture should be cool to the touch, if not allow it to cool a few more minutes before adding the cool whip.

Mix one 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip into the Jello mixture stirring until well blended. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes to allow it to thicken up but not set.

Once the strawberry Jello mixture has chilled remove the baking pan from the freezer and gently spread the pink strawberry layer evenly on top of the cheesecake layer.

Place the cake pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight so that the Jello layer sets completely.

When ready to serve spread an 8 oz tub of cool whip across the top of the strawberry layer, top with chopped or sliced strawberries and golden Oreo crumbs or graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Cut into 12 pieces and serve chilled.
