Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups Golden Oreos or graham crackers (crushed)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for graham cracker crust)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (diced)
  • 2 large eggs (for baked version)

For the Strawberry Topping:

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries (sliced)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening)

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping (Optional):

  • 10 Golden Oreos (crushed)
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) for the baked version.
  • Mix crushed Golden Oreos or graham crackers with melted butter and sugar (if using).
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely. For no-bake, refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • Fold in diced strawberries. For baked cheesecake, mix in eggs one at a time.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust.

Bake & Chill:

  • Baked Version: Bake in a water bath at 325°F (163°C) for 50–60 minutes. Let cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 4+ hours.
  • No-Bake Version: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until firm.

Prepare the Strawberry Topping:

  • Cook strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until softened. Add cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened. Cool before spreading over the cheesecake.

Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping (Optional):

  • Pulse Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries into crumbs. Mix with melted butter and sprinkle over the strawberry topping.

Assemble & Serve:

  • Spread strawberry topping over the cheesecake. Add crunch topping if desired.
  • Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth filling.
  • Storage:
    • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
    • Freeze without toppings for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
  • Customization: Use almond flour for a gluten-free crust or dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan version.
