Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake - No Bake Recipe

If you like my Strawberry Shortcake Crumble, you'll love this strawberry shortcake cheesecake! It starts with a delicious Golden Oreos crust and layers on a strawberry cheesecake no bake filling made with fresh strawberries. Then we'll sprinkle strawberry crunch topping all over the top of the cheesecake to create a delicious outer layer!

Ingredients

• Golden Oreos - your cookies should be processed with a food processor or crushed in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin down to coarse crumbs. You can also use graham crackers for the crust for a different flavor.
• salted butter - we'll use melted butter in both the Golden Oreo crust and the strawberry crunch topping.
• cream cheese - your cream cheese should be softened to room temperature. I like to just let it sit out for an hour before I start.
• powdered sugar - using powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar helps keep that light and fluffy texture that we're going for in this easy strawberry crunch cheesecake recipe.
• heavy whipping cream - we'll use this to make a whipped cream that we'll fold into the no-bake cheesecake mixture.
• lemon juice - some fresh lemon juice gives our cream cheese filling a slight tangy flavor.
• vanilla - it should be the good stuff --pure vanillaextract. I like tomake my own!
• fresh strawberries - to give our cheesecake that sweet strawberry flavor!
• strawberry crunch topping - you'll also need to prepare one batch of my easy 3-ingredient strawberry crunch topping. For this, you'll need additional Golden Oreo cookies, freeze-dried strawberries, and salted butter.

Equipment

You'll definitely need a 9-inch springform pan for this recipe -- I like this one from Nordic Ware. I also recommend some plastic wrap for when your cheesecake is chilling, and some parchment paper to line the pan. You may also want a food processor to crush your strawberry crunch topping and your Golden Oreo crust.

Instructions

The full instructions are below in the recipe card, but here's the basic gist of the steps for this easy strawberry crunch cheesecake recipe:

1. The first thing you'll want to do is prep your cookie crust. I just crush the Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor, then add in my melted butter to my crushed cookies and pulse until the mixture comes together.
2. Then, purée your strawberries with a blender and set them aside in the fridge to chill in an airtight container.

3. In a large bowl, mix your cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.

4. Then, in a separate bowl we'll use the whisk attachment of a hand mixer to whip our heavy cream to stiff peaks -- the whipped cream should stick straight up when you lift the beater out the bowl and turn it upright.

5. Gently fold your whipped cream into your cream cheese mixture -- you'll want to make sure none of the whipped cream deflates while you're combining them.

6. Split the mixture in half into two bowls and fold the strawberry puree into one bowl of cheesecake mixture.

7. Then it's time to layer your cheesecake -- you can start with the strawberry cheesecake layer or the vanilla, but just layer each one in, smooth it out, and then pop the cheesecake in the freezer with plastic wrap on top -- you'll want to leave it in there for at least 4 hours for best results, to let your cheesecake set.

8. Now for the best part: we're going to sprinkle all our crunchy strawberry shortcake crumbles onto our creamy cheesecake filling! You'll want to coat the top of your cheesecake and the sides, but be careful for any stray crumbs!

Then, you can serve your no bake strawberry crunch cheesecake immediately, or pop it back in the fridge until it's time to enjoy!
