Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed golden oreos
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
Crust and Topping Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Meticulously crush Golden Oreo cookies and freeze-dried strawberries, then blend with melted butter to create a vibrant, textured crust. Firmly press the mixture into a springform pan, ensuring an even layer.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until velvety smooth, gradually incorporating sugar and vanilla extract. Introduce eggs individually, gently mixing after each addition to maintain a luxurious, uniform consistency.
- Carefully pour the cream cheese batter over the prepared crust, creating a seamless surface. Bake at 325°F for approximately 45-50 minutes, watching for a slight jiggle in the center when gently shaken.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set properly.
- Generously spread a layer of strawberry jam across the chilled cheesecake, creating a vibrant, glossy topping.
- Craft a delicate crumble by crushing the remaining Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries. Artfully sprinkle this mixture over freshly piped whipped cream, adding a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate for an additional hour to allow flavors to meld and textures to harmonize before serving.
Notes
- Select Golden Oreos for a richer, more indulgent crust with deeper flavor complexity compared to regular vanilla cookies.
- Ensure freeze-dried strawberries are finely crushed to create an even, vibrant texture throughout the crumble topping.
- Gently fold eggs into cream cheese mixture to prevent overmixing, which can cause cracks and dense cheesecake texture.
- Cool cheesecake completely at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation and maintain smooth surface.
