How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites
1. Make the Crunch Coating
In a small bowl, mix your crushed golden Oreos with strawberry gelatin powder.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly and looks like that classic “crunch topping.” Set aside.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Base
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar (if using) and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy. Don’t overmix – you want to keep that fluff!
3. Shape and Chill
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop and roll the cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place them on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes, just until firm enough to handle.
4. Coat the Bites
Once chilled, roll each cheesecake ball in the strawberry crunch topping, pressing gently to adhere the coating all around.
5. Serve or Store
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
