👩🍳 Instructions & Method
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well coated. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each mini cupcake liner or mold. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
2. Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Divide the mixture into two portions — mix strawberry puree or jam into one half for a strawberry layer.
3. Assemble the Layers:
Spoon or pipe a layer of plain cheesecake mixture onto each crust. Top with the strawberry layer. Smooth the tops and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
4. Make the Crunch Topping:
Crush the Oreos and combine with freeze-dried strawberries and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle generously over the chilled cheesecake bites.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Top each bite with a fresh strawberry slice or a dollop of whipped cream for a perfect finish. Enjoy chilled!
