Description
Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites are a delightful handheld dessert featuring a creamy cheesecake center, a golden vanilla cookie crust, and a sweet strawberry crunch topping. These no-bake treats are perfect for parties, quick snacks, or whenever you’re craving a fruity, creamy indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 golden sandwich cookies (like Golden Oreos), crushed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1/4 cup crushed golden sandwich cookies (for topping)
- Optional: Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix crushed cookies with melted butter until combined. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each silicone mold or mini muffin liner to form a crust. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped topping until well incorporated.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops.
- In a separate bowl, combine crushed freeze-dried strawberries and crushed cookies to make the strawberry crunch topping.
- Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping generously over the cheesecake bites.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use a silicone mold for easy removal of bites without crumbling.
- You can swap freeze-dried strawberries with strawberry gelatin mix for extra sweetness and color.
- These bites freeze well for up to a month—just thaw slightly before serving.
