# Ingredients:

→ Cheesecake Base

01 - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 - 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1 cup granulated sugar
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Strawberry Crunch

07 - 1 1/2 cups crushed golden Oreo cookies
08 - 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry gelatin mix
09 - 3 tablespoons melted butter

→ Strawberry Sauce

10 - 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
11 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
12 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

→ Decoration

13 - Melted white chocolate for drizzling
14 - Extra strawberry crunch for topping

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create a compact crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until evenly combined.
04 - Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is mostly set with a slight wobble. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
05 - In a medium bowl, combine crushed golden Oreo cookies, freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry gelatin mix, and melted butter. Mix until coated and set aside.
06 - Combine diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the strawberries soften and the sauce thickens slightly. Let cool before use.
07 - Remove chilled cheesecake from the pan and slice into individual chunks or bars. Arrange on a serving tray.
08 - Drizzle each cheesecake chunk with strawberry sauce and sprinkle generously with strawberry crunch. Drizzle with melted white chocolate. Top with extra strawberry crunch as desired.
09 - Serve the cheesecake chunks cold as a handheld treat or plated dessert.

# Notes:

01 - For clean-edged slices, chill the cheesecake overnight and use a sharp knife wiped between cuts.
