Strawberry Crunch Topping
- 1 1/2 cups crushed golden Oreos
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries (or substitute with 1/4 cup strawberry gelatin powder)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Base
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking dish to form an even crust.
Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Make the Strawberry Crunch
In a medium bowl, combine crushed golden Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries (or gelatin mix), and melted butter.
Mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and the sauce thickens.
Let cool before using.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake Chunks
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan and cut into chunks or bars.
Spoon strawberry sauce over each piece.
Sprinkle with a generous layer of strawberry crunch topping.
Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a bakery-style finish.
5. Serve
Serve cold. These cheesecake chunks make an eye-catching dessert platter or a sweet individual treat at any event.
