Ingredients

  • Golden Oreo Cookies

  • Full-Fat Cream Cheese
  • Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Heavy Cream (Cold)
  • Strawberry Puree or Extract (Optional for filling)
  • Freeze-Dried Strawberries
  • Golden Oreo Cookies or Vanilla Wafers
  • Unsalted Butter (Melted) or White Chocolate (Melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your cupcake liners by lining a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Crush the Golden Oreo cookies (or vanilla wafers) until they're fine crumbs, using a food processor or a Ziploc bag and rolling pin.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter and pour it over the cookie crumbs, stirring until well combined.
  4. Divide the crumb mixture evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, pressing down to create a compact crust.
  5. Refrigerate the muffin tin while preparing the filling.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened full-fat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  8. Stir in the vanilla extract and optional strawberry extract or puree if using.
  9. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until no streaks remain.
  11. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops.
  12. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours or ideally overnight to set.
  13. Prepare the crunch topping by crushing the freeze-dried strawberries and Golden Oreo cookies (or vanilla wafers).
  14. Combine the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and cookies in a bowl.
  15. If using melted butter, pour it over the mixture and toss to combine; if using white chocolate, melt it and stir until everything is coated.
  16. Once the cheesecake bites are set, remove them from the muffin tin by lifting the paper liners.
  17. Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over each cheesecake bite and gently press down to adhere.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Chill your bowl and whisk before whipping the cream for the best results. Don't overmix after folding in the whipped cream to maintain lightness.
