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!
