Description
Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites are no-bake, creamy, bite-sized treats layered with a buttery Golden Oreo crust, smooth cheesecake filling, and vibrant strawberry crunch topping. Perfect for parties, gifting, or make-ahead desserts.
Ingredients
For the Golden Oreo Crust:
- 1 sleeve Golden Oreos (about 15 cookies)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 tablespoon sour cream (Grandma’s secret!)
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:
- 1 sleeve Golden Oreos (about 15 cookies)
- 1 box (3 oz) strawberry gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
For Garnish (Optional):
- Fresh strawberries
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- Crush Golden Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and sugar. Press 1 tbsp of mixture into each cup to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture to keep it airy.
- Spoon or pipe the filling over the crusts, filling ¾ full. Drop a bit of strawberry jam into each and swirl with a toothpick.
- For the topping, crush remaining Oreos and mix with strawberry gelatin, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter.
- Chill the filled bites in the freezer for 15 minutes, then sprinkle with the crunch topping.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish if desired.
Notes
Grandma’s sour cream tip adds cheesecake-style tang.
Freeze before topping to maintain clean layers.
These bites freeze beautifully for up to 2 months (add topping after thawing).
