Instructions

Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs. Alternatively, crush them using a rolling pin.
- Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
-
Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
-
Serve:
- Once chilled, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment overhang.
- Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a smoother texture, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- You can garnish these bars with extra strawberries or a drizzle of white chocolate for added sweetness.
