Strawberry Shortbread Crumble

Who remembers the Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream bars? My favorite part was that super yummy strawberry crumble- I just could never get enough of it! Turns out it’s so easy to make that I can have it whenever I want.

This recipe makes enough crumbles for an entire 9×13 cake or 24 cupcakes, with extra crumbles to spare!

Ingredients Needed for Strawberry Crunch Shortbread Topping

  • Shortbread cookies
  • Instant vanilla pudding mix
  • Strawberry Jell-O mix
  • Butter
  • Flour
Ingredients needed for strawberry shortbread crumble: jello, pudding, butter, shortbread cookies, and flour.

Lorna Doone Shortbread Cookies

For this recipe, I use Lorna Doone shortbread cookies (not sponsored). The crisp, buttery goodness of these cookies just makes this crumble so good.

Do you have to use Lorna Doone cookies? Absolutely not! Golden Oreos or any vanilla/shortbread cookie will do!

How to Make Strawberry Crunch Shortbread Topping

Begin this recipe by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

In BOWL 1, combine 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 stick of softened butter, and 1 vanilla pudding package.

In BOWL 2, combine 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 stick of softened butter, and 1 strawberry Jell-O package.

Two bowls showing the ingredients needed in each bowl. Flour, butter, and pudding mix or jello mix.

Mix them both well. The strawberry mixture will be softer than the vanilla, but they should both be about the consistency of Playdoh.

Two bowl with ingredients mixed together. Pudding on left, jello on right.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dump each bowl onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each mixture to about 1/4 of an inch.

This mixture only needs to be baked for 6 to 7 minutes. ***Do not let the edges brown.

Chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Once the mixture has cooled, break it into smaller pieces.

The pieces should snap apart. If they bend too easily, put the mixture back into the refrigerator.
