Ingredients

For the Crust

• 1 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon lemon juice (optional for brightness)

• ½ cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping

• 1 cup Golden Oreos or vanilla sandwich cookies

• 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry gelatin powder)

• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Optional Garnish

• Fresh strawberry slices

• Whipped cream or piped frosting

• White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Crush vanilla wafers (or graham crackers) into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin and bag.

2. Mix crumbs with melted butter and sugar until combined.

3. Line a mini muffin tray or silicone mold with paper liners. Add about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture to each cavity and press firmly.

4. Freeze while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

2. Add vanilla and lemon juice; mix well.

3. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl.

4. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a fluffy filling.

5. Spoon or pipe filling over crusts and smooth the tops.

6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or 45 minutes in the freezer).

Step 3: Create the Strawberry Crunch Topping

1. Pulse Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.

2. Add melted butter and pulse again until chunky and crumbly.

3. Sprinkle generously over the chilled cheesecake bites and press lightly to help it stick.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

1. Top with fresh strawberries and a swirl of whipped cream, if you like.

2. Drizzle with white chocolate for extra sweetness.

3. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy-crunch magic.
