Ingredients
Scale
-
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ⅓ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup heavy cream, whipped (optional)
-
- Crust Layer (optional):
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Strawberry Crunch Coating:
- 1 cup Golden Oreos, crushed finely
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Make the Crust (Optional): Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a parchment-lined 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan. Chill.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and sour cream. Mix well. Fold in whipped cream if using.
- Layer and Chill: Spread filling over crust evenly. Chill at least 4 hours (or freeze for 30 mins for easy slicing).
- Prepare Strawberry Crunch: Pulse Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor. Add melted butter and pulse again until crumbly.
- Cut and Coat: Slice cheesecake into 2-inch chunks and coat all sides with the strawberry crunch mixture.
- Chill Again: Optional but recommended. Chill for 30 more minutes to set coating. Store in fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture.
- Freeze before slicing for clean chunks.
- Swap in Nilla Wafers or shortbread for the crunch base if needed.
- These make great gifts—just chill and wrap individually!
- Use parchment paper between layers when storing to prevent smudging.
