Ingredients (Makes ~8–10 bites)

Cheesecake Filling

4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)

Crunch Coating

¼ cup crushed Golden Oreos
¼ cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
1 tbsp melted butter (optional, helps bind the coating)

Optional Additions

Strawberry glaze or puree for dipping
Fresh strawberry slices for garnish
White chocolate drizzle for extra indulgence

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated and fluffy.

Step 2: Chill the Filling

Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes to firm up slightly. This makes it easier to shape into bites.

Step 3: Form the Bites

Scoop the chilled filling into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 4: Prepare the Crunch Coating

In a separate bowl, mix crushed Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries. Add melted butter if needed to help the coating stick.

Step 5: Coat the Bites

Roll each cheesecake ball in the crunch mixture until fully coated. For extra flair, dip in strawberry glaze before rolling.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the coated bites for at least 1 hour to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
Whip the cream separately until stiff peaks form before folding it in.
Chill thoroughly before coating to prevent stickiness.
Customize the crunch with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or even cereal.
Add a surprise center like a strawberry slice or chocolate chip for extra fun.

Serving Suggestions

Serve on a dessert platter with fresh berries and mint leaves.
Skewer them for a party-friendly presentation.
Pair with iced coffee, lemonade, or sparkling rosé.
Add to a dessert board with cookies, fruit, and chocolate.

Variations to Try

Lemon Twist: Add lemon zest to the filling for a citrusy zing.
Chocolate Lovers: Use crushed chocolate cookies and drizzle with dark chocolate.
Nutty Crunch: Mix in crushed pistachios or almonds with the coating.
Vegan Version: Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped cream.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze for up to 1 month—thaw in the fridge before serving.
Avoid stacking to preserve the coating—use parchment between layers.
