Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 300 g, finely crushed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113 g)
  • 24 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened (3 blocks, 226 g each)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream (240 g)
  • 1 cup strawberry sauce or strawberry preserves (240 g)
  • 1 cup vanilla sandwich cookies, crushed (about 120 g)
  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • 4 to 6 oz white chocolate, melted (113–170 g) (optional)
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish, about 1 pint (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the prepared pan. Chill for 30 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Mix in sour cream until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggly.
  5. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Once chilled, spread the strawberry sauce over the cheesecake layer.
  7. Mix crushed cookies with freeze-dried strawberry powder and sprinkle over the strawberry layer.
  8. Drizzle with melted white chocolate, if using. Lift the cheesecake out using parchment paper and cut into chunks.
  9. Garnish with fresh strawberries before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free graham crackers and cookies for a gluten-free version.
  • Chill thoroughly before cutting for clean squares.
  • Best served cold straight from the fridge.
  • Store crunch topping separately to keep it crisp.
