Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Chunks Dessert with Golden Oreos (Print version)

Creamy baked cheesecake chunks with Golden Oreo strawberry crunch, fresh berry sauce, and a neat white chocolate drizzle.

# Ingredients:

For the crust

01 - 2 cups (200 g) graham cracker crumbs
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling

04 - 24 oz (680 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream, room temperature
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 3 large eggs, room temperature

For the strawberry sauce

09 - 1 1/2 cups (225 g) chopped fresh strawberries
10 - 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
11 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
12 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

For the Golden Oreo crunch

13 - 18 Golden Oreos, coarsely crushed
14 - 1 cup (24 g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
15 - 3 tablespoons (42 g) unsalted butter, melted
16 - Pinch of fine salt

For finishing

17 - 3 oz (85 g) white chocolate, melted
18 - Fresh strawberry slices, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides, and lightly grease the exposed sides.
02 - Stir graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool while you make the filling.
03 - Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing just until each egg disappears.
04 - Spread the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 38-44 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight wobble. Cool to room temperature, then chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
05 - Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until juicy, then stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1 minute. Cool completely.
06 - Mix crushed Golden Oreos, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, melted butter, and salt until crumbly. Keep a few larger cookie bits for texture.
07 - Lift the chilled cheesecake from the pan. Spoon cooled strawberry sauce over the top, scatter with Golden Oreo strawberry crunch, drizzle with melted white chocolate, and cut into 16 chunks.

# Good to know:

01 - Chill overnight for the cleanest slices.
02 - Add extra crunch right before serving if the tray will sit out for a short time.
03 - Nutrition is an estimate per cheesecake chunk.
