Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup strawberry puree or strawberry jam
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers or golden Oreos
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (for crust)
- 1 cup crushed golden Oreos or vanilla wafer cookies
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 3 tbsp melted butter (for strawberry crunch topping)
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate or candy melts, melted (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a mini muffin tin or an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers or golden Oreos with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the muffin cups or pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree (or jam) until everything is well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. If using a mini muffin tin, fill each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes for mini bites or 35-40 minutes for a larger pan until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow the cheesecake bites to cool to room temperature before refrigerating them for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In a bowl, combine crushed golden Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Once chilled, carefully remove each cheesecake bite from the muffin tin or cut squares from the larger cheesecake. Roll or sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over each bite while pressing gently to adhere.
- For extra indulgence, dip each bite into melted white chocolate. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 15-20 minutes to set.
- Enjoy these creamy, sweet Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites as a delightful dessert that everyone will love!
