Ingredients

  • For the crust
  • 2 cups crushed golden Oreos or vanilla wafer cookies

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • For the cheesecake filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup strawberry puree or strawberry jam

  • 2-3 drops pink food coloring (optional)

  • For the strawberry crunch topping
  • 1 cup crushed golden Oreos or vanilla wafer cookies

  • ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

  • 3 tbsp melted butter

  • 2-3 drops pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

  • In a medium bowl, combine crushed golden Oreos and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, strawberry puree, and pink food coloring (optional).

  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  • In a bowl, mix crushed golden Oreos, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, melted butter, and pink food coloring (optional) until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  • Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping evenly over the cheesecake, pressing gently to adhere.

  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra Strawberry Flavor: Add strawberry extract to the filling for more intense strawberry flavor.
