Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake
This creamy no-bake strawberry crunch cheesecake features a buttery Golden Oreo crust, fluffy strawberry cheesecake filling, and a nostalgic strawberry shortcake crumble topping.
Equipment
- 9-inch springform pan
- food processor
- electric mixer
- mixing bowls
- spatula
- plastic wrap
Ingredients
- 24 Golden Oreo cookies
- 4 tbsp salted butter, melted
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 batch strawberry shortcake crumble
Instructions
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor or in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- Add the melted butter to the cookie crumbs and mix until evenly coated and moistened.
- Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Place the crust in the freezer while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly into two bowls. Fold the strawberry puree into one half until fully combined.
- Pour the strawberry cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and smooth evenly. Layer the plain cheesecake filling on top and smooth the surface.
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4–5 hours or overnight until firm.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and coat the top and sides with strawberry shortcake crumble. Return to the freezer until ready to serve. Let thaw for 10–15 minutes before slicing if needed.
Notes
Freeze the cheesecake overnight for the cleanest slices. Let it thaw for 10–15 minutes before serving for easier cutting. For extra flavor, garnish with fresh strawberries or whipped cream.
