A quick and effortless no-bake dessert featuring creamy strawberry cheesecake filling atop a buttery Golden Oreo crust, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Golden Oreos, crushed finely
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Place the Golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, crush cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
  2. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, add melted butter, and stir until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons (30g) of the crust mixture into each serving cup and press down firmly to create an even base. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes on high speed.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using slow, sweeping motions to keep it airy and fluffy.
  7. Fold in half of the chopped strawberries into the filling, reserving the rest for topping.
  8. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust layer in each cup and smooth the tops.
  9. Garnish each cup with the remaining strawberries and drizzle with lemon juice.
  10. Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 2 hours to set and meld flavors. For best texture, chill longer.

Notes

Softening cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes is essential for a smooth filling. Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for faster stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream to keep the filling airy. Press crust firmly but not too dense. Chill at least 2 hours for best texture; overnight chilling enhances flavor.
