Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup strawberry puree or jam
  • 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers or Golden Oreos
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted (for crust)
  • 1 cup crushed Golden Oreos or vanilla wafers (for topping)
  • 0.5 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 3 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
  • 1.5 cups melted white chocolate or candy melts (optional for dipping)

Equipment

  • mini muffin tin or 8×8-inch baking pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • parchment paper
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini muffin tin or baking pan with parchment paper. Combine crushed graham crackers or Golden Oreos with melted butter and press into the prepared tin to form the crust. Set aside.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, and strawberry puree or jam until smooth. Pour over crusts, filling each about three-quarters full.
  3. Bake for 20–25 minutes until centers are set but slightly jiggly. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Mix crushed Golden Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter to make the topping. Coat chilled cheesecakes with the mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. (Optional) Melt white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals. Dip each cheesecake bite halfway or fully, then chill for 15–20 minutes until the coating sets.

Notes

  • Always chill before serving for the best texture.
  • Use full-fat dairy for a creamier cheesecake.
  • For a color pop, drizzle melted strawberry chocolate over the finished bites.
  • These cheesecake bites taste even better the next day after chilling overnight.
