Description
A delightful twist on classic cheesecake, combining creamy filling with a crunchy strawberry topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 cups crumbs from graham crackers
- 1 1/2 cups golden Oreo cookies, crushed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry Jell-O powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
- White chocolate, melted, to drizzle over top
- More strawberry crunch mix, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease.
- In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until damp. Press into the bottom of the dish and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. Pour over cooled crust.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until mostly set. Let cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prepare topping: Mix chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a pan. Heat until fruit softens and juice thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
- Once cheesecake is chilled, slice into chunks. Top with cooled strawberry mixture, drizzle with melted white chocolate, and sprinkle with extra crunch mix.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Don’t skip the chilling time for better flavor.
