Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 sleeves of Golden Oreos, crushed
- 1 cup Nila Vanilla wafers, crushed
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Crunchy Topping
- 18 Golden Oreos, crushed (coarsely)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 oz. box strawberry gelatin powder
Decoration
- Whipped cream
- Handful of fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreos, crushed Nila Vanilla wafers, and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch or 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper, smoothing out the surface and gently pressing crumbs up the sides to form a sturdy crust.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese for about two minutes until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and granulated sugar, then continue beating until well combined. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Transfer this mixture into a medium bowl.
- Whip the cream: Using the original mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy filling.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
- Prepare the crunchy topping: In a bowl, combine the coarsely crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter and the strawberry gelatin powder, mixing thoroughly to create the crunchy topping mixture.
- Add toppings and serve: Once the cheesecake has set, sprinkle the crunchy topping evenly over the surface. Pipe whipped cream decoratively on top and garnish with fresh strawberries. Slice and enjoy your no-bake strawberry crunch cheesecake!
Notes
- For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight to allow flavors to meld and the filling to firm up properly.
- You can substitute Golden Oreos with another vanilla-flavored sandwich cookie if desired.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake filling.
- Fresh strawberries can be replaced by other berries or a fruit of your choice for variation.
- Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water to get clean slices when serving.
