In a mixing bowl, beat the *cream cheese* and *powdered sugar* until smooth. Fold in the strawberries and Oreo crumbs until well mixed.

Step 3

Make the Ganache

Chop the *dark chocolate* into small pieces. In a saucepan, heat the *heavy cream* until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until *smooth* and *glossy*. Allow it to cool slightly before using.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

If you’re looking for a vegan version, swap out dairy butter for a plant-based alternative and use flax eggs instead of regular eggs (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons of water per egg). Opt for vegan chocolates and make sure the Oreo cookies are the vegan variety. 🌱
