Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bars are a luscious blend of creamy cheesecake, sweet strawberries, and buttery shortcake crumble. These easy-to-slice bars feature a Golden Oreo crust, smooth vanilla cheesecake, and a fruity whipped topping, perfect for gatherings or make-ahead desserts.

Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 24 Golden Oreos or vanilla sandwich cookies
  • 5 tbsp butter, melted
  • Cheesecake Layer:
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 tbsp strawberry gelatin powder or 2 tbsp strawberry jam
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
  • Crumble:
  • 10 Golden Oreos
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp strawberry gelatin powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Crush Golden Oreos for the crust and mix with melted butter. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and sour cream.
  5. Pour cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes until just set. Cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  7. Mix diced strawberries with gelatin powder or use a thin layer of jam.
  8. Spread whipped topping over chilled cheesecake layer, then top with strawberry mixture.
  9. Pulse remaining Golden Oreos with melted butter and gelatin powder to make crumble. Sprinkle over the top.
  10. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use freeze-dried strawberries in the crumble for extra flavor and color.
  • Swap berries for raspberries or blueberries for variation.
  • Stabilized whipped cream can be used for a richer topping.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze without topping.
  • For clean slices, chill thoroughly and wipe knife between cuts.
