Let’s get into how to make this fabulous Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Delight.
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Crunch & Crust:
24 Golden Oreo cookies (entire cookie, filling included)
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the No-Bake Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
For the Strawberry Layer:
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
1/2 cup strawberry preserves or jam
Optional: Whipped cream and fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
1. Create the Signature Strawberry Crunch
In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries until they resemble coarse crumbs.
Pour in the melted butter and pulse a few more times until the mixture looks like wet sand.
Tip: If you are making a traditional cheesecake, press about 2/3 of this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Save the rest for the topping! If making individual cups, simply divide a layer of crumbs into the bottom of each glass.
2. Whip Up the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into your cream cheese mixture until the filling is light, fluffy, and perfectly combined.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Layer
In a small bowl, mix the diced fresh strawberries with the strawberry preserves. This creates a quick, gorgeous, and fruity glaze layer.
4. Assemble Your Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Delight
For a pie: Spread the creamy cheesecake filling evenly over your prepared crust. Top with the fresh strawberry mixture, spreading it to the edges. Sprinkle the remaining strawberry crunch generously over the top.
For cups: Layer the ingredients! Start with a crunch layer, pipe or spoon in the cheesecake filling, add a spoonful of the strawberry mixture, and top with more crunch.
5. Chill and Serve
Place your pie or cups in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better for a firm slice!).
Right before serving, garnish with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, a slice of fresh strawberry, and a sprig of mint. Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Delight!
