Description

These No Bake Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Jars are a delightful, easy-to-make dessert featuring a buttery cookie crust, creamy strawberry-infused cheesecake filling, and a crunchy strawberry topping. Perfect for individual servings and ready in just a few hours of chilling, this recipe combines the richness of cream cheese with the sweetness of strawberry preserves and a satisfying crunch from freeze dried strawberries and cookies.


Ingredients

Crust

  • 30 Golden Oreos
  • 5 Tablespoons butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup strawberry preserves
  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream

Strawberry Crunch Topping

  • 15 Golden Oreos
  • 2 ounces freeze dried strawberries
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, softened


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Process 30 Golden Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor. Add 5 tablespoons of melted butter and stir until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed.
  2. Form crust in jars: Spoon 1½ to 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each serving jar. Lightly press down with the back of a measuring spoon to form a firm crust base.
  3. Beat the cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, making sure to scrape down the sides and the beater to avoid lumps.
  4. Add sweetened condensed milk: Gradually pour in the condensed milk a little at a time, mixing continuously until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Incorporate strawberry preserves: Beat in 1 cup of strawberry preserves evenly throughout the cream cheese mixture to add flavor and sweetness.
  6. Add the heavy whipping cream: With the mixer on low speed, slowly drizzle in 1½ cups of heavy whipping cream. Once incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy.
  7. Fill the jars: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly into each jar over the prepared crust layer.
  8. Make the strawberry crunch topping: Pulse the remaining 15 Golden Oreos and 2 ounces of freeze dried strawberries in the food processor until they turn into crumbs.
  9. Add butter to topping: Mix in 2 tablespoons of softened butter to the cookie and strawberry crumbs and work it until the mixture forms small crumble clusters.
  10. Top the jars: Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry crunch mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling in each jar.
  11. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the jars for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese and softened butter for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • If you don’t have Golden Oreos, you can substitute with any vanilla-flavored sandwich cookies.
  • Freeze dried strawberries add great crunch and intense flavor, but they can be omitted if unavailable.
  • These cheesecake jars can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • To make piping easier, use a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip for a decorative filling layer.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less strawberry preserves according to your preference.
