Ingredients
  

Oreo Crust
  • 24 whole Oreo cookies standard size
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 pinch salt
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.25 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups fresh strawberries hulled and diced
Topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream whipped
  • 5 Oreo cookies chopped
  • 3 tbsp chocolate syrup for drizzling

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and a pinch of salt until moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Add sugar and beat for 1 minute.
  5. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Turn mixer to low and add eggs one at a time, mixing just until the yolk disappears. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries using a rubber spatula.
  8. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  9. Cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  10. Top with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, chopped Oreos, and a chocolate drizzle before slicing.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, wipe your knife with a warm, damp paper towel between every single cut.
