Use a food processor to turn the Oreos into crumbs. Or place them in a gallon-size zippered bag and crush them with a heavy rolling pin.
Place the strawberries in a microwave safe bowl or glass measuring cup and microwave them on high for about 2 minutes. Mash them with a fork and set them in the refrigerator until ready to use.
With a hand or stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla pudding mix and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth. Add about 1 1/2 cups of the Cool Whip and beat again on low speed until combined. Or use a spatula to fold in the whipped cream, if you are using homemade instead of Cool Whip.
Spread half of the pudding mixture into the bottom of the dish. Top with half the mashed strawberries and use a table knife or fork to kind of swirl it gently into the top of the pudding. Then top with half of the sliced bananas. And finally top with half of the crushed cookies.
Repeat these layers once more - pudding, mashed strawberries, bananas, Oreos.
Finally, spread the remaining Cool Whip on top of the pudding layers in your trifle dish. Garnish the whipped cream layer with fresh sliced strawberries and banana slices.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

My top layer of whipped cream is very generous. Feel free to use less if you prefer.
