 Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream or Cool Whip
• 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup strawberry puree or strawberry jam

Crunch Coating:

• 20 Golden Oreos (or vanilla sandwich cookies)
• 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
• 3 tbsp melted butter

Optional Garnish:

• White chocolate drizzle
• Fresh strawberries, finely chopped

 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
3. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and whip the mixture until thick and fluffy.
   • If using Cool Whip, gently fold it in instead of whipping.
4. Stir in the strawberry puree or jam until evenly mixed and beautifully pink.
6. Pro Tip: The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape when scooped.

Step 2: Chill the Cheesecake Mixture

1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
2. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form bite-sized balls.
3. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Make the Strawberry Crunch Coating

1. Add Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor.
2. Pulse until fine crumbs form.
3. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the melted butter until the texture is crumbly but moist.
4. Texture Tip: The crunch should stick easily when pressed onto the cheesecake bites.

Step 4: Coat the Cheesecake Bites

1. Roll each chilled cheesecake bite in the strawberry crunch mixture.
2. Gently press the crumbs onto the surface for full coverage.
3. Place back on the tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
