For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream

For the Strawberry Layer:

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

For the Crunch Topping:

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined.

  2. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

  3. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency.

  3. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.

  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared crust.

Step 3: Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

  2. Bake the cheesecake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay).

  3. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 4: Prepare the Crunch Topping

  1. In a small bowl, combine crushed vanilla sandwich cookies with freeze-dried strawberry powder.

  2. Mix well to create a colorful, flavorful crunchy topping.
