Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) fresh strawberries, puréed
Crust Ingredients:
- 24 Golden Oreo cookies
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) salted butter, melted
Flavoring and Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 batch strawberry shortcake crumble (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pulverize Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or manual crushing technique inside a sealed bag. Integrate melted butter thoroughly with cookie crumbs to create a cohesive base mixture.
- Meticulously coat a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray, then compress the cookie mixture firmly across the bottom and slightly up the pan’s interior walls. Chill the crust in the freezer during filling preparation.
- Utilize an electric mixer to transform cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice into a silky-smooth consistency.
- In a separate mixing vessel, whip heavy cream until it develops robust, defined peaks that hold their shape dramatically.
- Gently incorporate whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining its delicate airiness through careful folding techniques.
- Strategically separate the cream cheese mixture into two equal portions. Infuse one half with vibrant strawberry purée, ensuring complete and even color distribution.
- Carefully spread the strawberry-enhanced layer atop the chilled crust, creating a uniform surface with smooth, deliberate motions.
- Delicately layer the remaining plain cream cheese mixture over the strawberry section, ensuring a pristine, even finish.
- Encase the cheesecake with protective plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer for a minimum of 4-5 hours, preferably allowing it to set overnight for optimal texture.
- Upon serving, extract the cheesecake from the springform pan and embellish with a decorative coating of strawberry shortcake crumble.
- Maintain the dessert in the freezer until moments before serving. Allow a brief 10-15 minute thawing period to facilitate elegant, clean slicing.
Notes
- Chill thoroughly before serving to achieve the perfect creamy texture and enhance flavor development.
- No-bake technique requires precise mixing and gentle folding to maintain light, airy consistency.
- Freezing is crucial for structural integrity, helping the cheesecake hold its shape when sliced.
- Strawberry purée adds vibrant color and natural sweetness without overwhelming the delicate cream cheese base.
- Golden Oreo crust provides a rich, buttery foundation that complements the tangy cheesecake filling.
- Shortcake crumble topping adds delightful crunch and nostalgic strawberry shortcake reminiscence.
