Instructions

Mix together melted butter and crushed cookies. Distribute evenly between 12 (125ml) glass jars. Pack lightly into the bottom of the jars and refrigerate while making the filling.

To a large bowl, add cream cheese, powdered sugar, instant vanilla pudding mix, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric hand mixer until creamy.

Add whipping cream and continue beating until fluffy peaks form. Fold in the strawberries. Spoon evenly into the jars on top of the crust. Smooth the top using a teaspoon.

Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until ready to serve. Top with some whipped cream, a slice of strawberry, and lime zest.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Oreo Crust Perfection 🍪
Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine, uniform crumbs to create a smooth, compact crust that holds together beautifully in the jar.
Cream Cheese Smoothness 🧈
Always bring cream cheese to room temperature and beat it thoroughly to eliminate any lumps, ensuring a silky-smooth cheesecake texture.
Strawberry Maceration Magic 🍓
Gently toss chopped strawberries with a touch of sugar and let them sit for 15 minutes to release natural juices and intensify their flavor before layering.
Layering Technique 🥄
Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with the corner cut off to create neat, precise layers of crust, cheesecake filling, and strawberries for a professional presentation.
Lime Zest Enhancement 🍋
Microplane your lime zest to get ultra-fine, fragrant zest that distributes evenly through the cheesecake mixture without creating large, bitter pieces.
