How to make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake?
If you enjoyed my Strawberry Shortcake Crumble, you will love this Strawberry Cheesecake Crunch Recipe! It begins with a wonderful Golden Oreo crust and progresses to a strawberry cheesecake no bake filling made with real strawberries. Then we’ll cover the cheesecake with strawberry crunch topping to make a wonderful outer layer!
Follow these instructions to make your mouthwatering strawberry crunch cake cheesecake:
For the crust Making:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
- Mix the ingredients until well combined and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating a firm and even crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
For the filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, cream the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg fully before adding the next.
- Continue to mix until the filling is creamy and well combined.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for about an hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For the strawberry crunch topping:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
- Mix the ingredients until they are well coated and resemble a crumbly mixture.
- Spread the strawberry crunch topping over the chilled cheesecake, covering the entire surface.
- Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to allow the topping to set.
- Once chilled, remove the outer ring of the springform pan, slice into pieces, and enjoy the luscious layers of creamy cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and buttery crunch.
Tips for Best Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Recipe
- If you don’t own a food processor, don’t worry! Instead, pour the freeze-dried strawberries, biscuits, and graham crackers in zipper bags and crush with a rolling pin.
- Use chilled cream cheese for the filling. When I made this recipe with room temperature cream cheese, the filling did not keep its shape well. Don’t worry about lumps! The sugar will assist the cream cheese break down and become lump-free.
- The cheesecake needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours. However, I recommend chilling it overnight for the best texture.
- If you wish to cover the entire top and sides of the cheesecake with crumbs, double the topping recipe. I prefer only the top, but it looks adorable with crumbs on the sides.
- Wipe the knife between each cut for a more visually appealing slice. Beautiful cheesecake every time!
Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones Variations
This twist is reminiscent of the traditional Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar! Simply layer your strawberry cheesecake filling into sugar cones, followed by fresh strawberries if desired! Then top with strawberry crunch topping and whipped cream!
