🍓 Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Chunks
✅ Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake Base:
-
16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup sour cream
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:
-
1 cup Golden Oreos (about 10 cookies)
-
1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
🍰 Instructions:
1. Make the Cheesecake Base:
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8” square pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add sugar, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix until combined.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.
-
Stir in flour just until incorporated.
-
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
2. Bake:
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
-
Cool completely at room temp, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
3. Make the Strawberry Crunch:
-
In a food processor, pulse Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries until crumbly.
-
Drizzle in melted butter and pulse a few more times until combined.
-
(If no processor, crush in a ziplock with a rolling pin.)
-
4. Assemble the Chunks:
-
Once cheesecake is fully chilled, remove from the pan and cut into bite-sized cubes.
-
Roll each cube in the strawberry crunch topping, pressing gently so it sticks.
-
Optional: Freeze for 15–20 minutes for firmer chunks before serving.
🧊 Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
