A quick and easy no-bake cheesecake dessert served in jars with a crunchy Golden Oreo crust and fresh strawberry topping, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Golden Oreo Cookies
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush Golden Oreos finely using a food processor or place in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
  2. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and stir in melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Layer the crust: Spoon about 2 tablespoons (30g) of crust mixture into each jar and press gently to form an even base.
  4. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until light and airy.
  7. Fill the jars: Layer cheesecake filling over crust in each jar, filling about 3/4 full and smooth the tops.
  8. Prepare strawberry topping: Toss sliced strawberries with lemon juice and optional teaspoon of sugar; let sit for 5 minutes.
  9. Top each jar with the strawberry mixture evenly.
  10. Chill jars covered in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Whip cream to soft peaks and fold gently to keep filling airy. Do not over-compact crust to maintain texture. Fresh strawberries can be replaced with frozen (thawed and drained). For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with dairy-free alternatives and use almond flour crust.
