Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups golden Oreos, crushed (about 20 cookies)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • ½ cup strawberry puree or strawberry jam

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

  • 1 cup golden Oreos, crushed
  • ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Mix the crushed golden Oreos with melted butter until evenly coated.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to set.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Add vanilla extract and lemon juice (if using) and mix until combined.
    • Fold in the whipped cream gently, followed by the strawberry puree or jam, until evenly distributed.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
    • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set completely.
  4. Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping:
    • Combine the crushed golden Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until crumbly and well combined.
  5. Add the Topping:
    • Once the cheesecake is set, sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping evenly over the top, pressing lightly to adhere.
  6. Serve:
    • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add 2 tablespoons of sour cream to the cheesecake filling.
  • Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Use graham crackers or vanilla wafers as a substitute for golden Oreos if desired.
