Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites are the perfect combination of creamy, fruity, and crunchy.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s simple to prepare, doesn’t require any baking if I go with a no-bake cheesecake filling, and the flavors are incredible. The smooth cheesecake paired with the strawberry crunch topping gives me major ice cream bar vibes. They’re also easy to make ahead of time, and everyone always grabs more than one.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Cream cheese (softened)
Granulated sugar
Vanilla extract
Whipped topping or heavy cream (for fluffiness)
Golden Oreos (crushed)
Freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
Butter (melted)
Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Mini cupcake liners or silicone molds

Directions

I start by mixing the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Then I fold in whipped topping (or whipped cream if I’m making it from scratch) until everything is light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, I mix crushed Golden Oreos and crushed freeze-dried strawberries with melted butter to create the strawberry crunch topping.
I line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and spoon a bit of the crunch mixture into the bottom of each cup, pressing it down to form the base.
I add a spoonful of the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the tops.
I sprinkle more of the strawberry crunch mixture on top to finish them off.
I refrigerate the bites for at least 2 hours so they can firm up before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 24 mini cheesecake bites. It takes around 20 minutes to prep and at least 2 hours to chill in the fridge, so I usually make them ahead of time for convenience.

Variations

Sometimes I add a bit of lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for a brighter flavor. If I want a chocolate twist, I’ll use chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Golden Oreos. I’ve even swapped out the freeze-dried strawberries for raspberries or blueberries to switch up the fruity flavor.

storage/reheating

I keep these bites stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They’re best served chilled, straight from the fridge. For longer storage, I freeze them on a tray first, then transfer to a container or freezer bag. When I want to enjoy one, I let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I always make them a day ahead so they have plenty of time to set in the fridge. They taste even better the next day.

Can I use a baked cheesecake filling?

Absolutely. If I prefer a baked cheesecake, I can use a traditional baked filling instead of the no-bake version. Just make sure to chill before topping.

What’s the best way to crush the Oreos and strawberries?

I usually use a food processor for a fine texture, but a zip-top bag and rolling pin work just as well if I want bigger crumbs for crunch.

Can I make them without cupcake liners?

Yes, I use silicone molds when I want easy release without liners. Just make sure to spray lightly with nonstick spray.

How do I keep the crust from falling apart?

I press the base mixture firmly into the liner and make sure there’s enough butter to bind the crumbs. Chilling helps set everything perfectly.

Conclusion

Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites are one of my go-to treats when I want something that’s fun, delicious, and easy to share. I love the creamy texture, fruity crunch, and how they always remind me of strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. Whether for a party or a personal indulgence, they never disappoint.
