Instructions

Instructions for Golden Oreo Cheesecake Crust
    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by lining an 8" or 9" round springform cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the finely crushed Golden Oreos in a large mixing bowl and pour in the melted butter. Stir to create a moist crumb and then press into the base and about 1" up the sides of the lined cake pan. For more detail, see my recipe for Golden Oreo Cookie Crust. Set in the refrigerator to chill while making the filling.
Instructions for Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, mascarpone and sugar. Add the vanilla bean paste and beat until smooth.
  2. Meanwhile, place the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a separate large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until stiff peaks form (see note).
  3. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold to combine.
  4. Reserve about ½ cup of the filling mixture and place in a small bowl. Add the strawberry powder to this and fold to incorporate. This will create a light pink strawberry flavoured cheesecake mixture.
  5. Spoon about half of your plain vanilla cheesecake filling on top of the prepared golden Oreo base and spread evenly. Next add the strawberry cheesecake mixture and spread in an even layer (see note). Finish with the remaining vanilla cheesecake filling, spread evenly and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Place in the refrigerator while you make the crumble topping.
Instructions for the Strawberry Crunch Crumble
  1. Place the roughly crushed Oreo pieces in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the strawberry powder over top and then pour the melted butter into the mix. Stir to coat the Oreo crumble in an uneven light pink.
  2. Sprinkle the crumble over top the cheesecake and return to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours (better overnight) until set.
  3. Prior to serving, add any optional toppings, such as a few dollops of quick stabilized vanilla whipped cream (see detailed recipe here) and strawberries.

Notes

  • Whipped cream is key to a no-bake cheesecake filling. The cream needs to be whisked to stiff peaks, but it is important not to overbeat or this will split and become unpleasantly stiff (more like a butter than a cream). Over-beaten cream can stiff be used for making your filling, but the finished product will be more stiff and solid, and less creamy.
  • When adding the strawberry cheesecake filling, spread this over the centre, leaving about an inch gap around the edges as shown in the images in the blog post.
