Strawberry Powder

1
|
To make the strawberry powder, place the freeze-dried strawberries in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the strawberries are a fine powder (a few small chunks are ok). Sift the powder through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any chunks and set aside. Save the strawberry chunks for the crunch topping!

Strawberry Crunch Topping

1
|
Pour the Golden Oreo Thins into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs. You should have about 3/4 cup crumbs. Place about 1/3 of the plain cookie crumbs in a small bowl and set aside.
2
|
Combine the remaining 2/3 of the cookie crumbs, 1 tablespoon of the strawberry powder, the reserved strawberry chunks, and the melted butter. Stir until everything is well-coated.
3
|
Add the remaining plain cookie crumbs and stir until the mixture is crumbly and combined. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for later.

Graham Cracker Crust

1
|
Place the graham crackers in the bowl of the food processor and pulse until you have semi-fine crumbs. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
2
|
Add the sugar, melted butter, and salt. Pulse until the graham crackers are finely ground and the mixture clumps together.
3
|
Tip the graham cracker mixture into the springform pan and use clean hands to press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. You can also use a measuring cup to help compact the crust. Cover, and place the crust in the fridge for later.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

1
|
Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Whip the cream into stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Spoon the whipped cream into a mixing bowl, and set aside.
2
|
Next, add the cold cream cheese, sugar, and powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Beat the mixture until it's smooth and there are no more lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as necessary.
3
|
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste or extract, sour cream, and the rest of the freeze-dried strawberry powder. Beat for another 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed until the mixture is very smooth and there are no streaks of strawberry powder.
4
|
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry cream cheese mixture about 1 cup at a time. Do this slowly so that you don't deflate the whipped cream! Continue folding until there are no more streaks of whipped cream.
5
|
Spoon the strawberry cream cheese filling over the chilled graham cracker crust. Use an offset spatula or rubber spatula to evenly spread the filling over the crust. Make sure to gently push the filling into the edges of the pan so you don't get gaps between the crust and the cream cheese layer.
6
|
Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The longer it chills, the better the texture of the filling.
7
|
Once the filling is set, use a butter knife to gently loosen the cheesecake from the sides of the pan. Remove the sides of the springform pan. Then, use a spoon to sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the cheesecake. Gently press down on the crumbs to adhere them to the top of the cheesecake. Decorate with fresh strawberries, slice, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Room Temperature Cream Cheese 🧈
    Always soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly with other ingredients.
  • Stabilize Whipped Cream Perfectly ☁️
    Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping heavy cream, and add a tablespoon of powdered sugar to help stabilize peaks and prevent weeping.
  • Maximize Strawberry Flavor Layers 🍓
    Reserve some fresh strawberry juice from maceration to brush on the crust before filling—this intensifies strawberry flavor throughout and prevents a dry base.
  • Chill Between Layers ❄️
    Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes after pressing before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy and to maintain structural integrity.
  • Add Crunch Just Before Serving ✨
    Top with freeze-dried strawberry crumbs and Golden Oreo crumbs no more than 2 hours before serving to keep them crispy instead of absorbing moisture from the cheesecake.
