For the Strawberry Crunch:
1 ½ cups crushed golden Oreos
½ cup freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry gelatin mix for color/flavor)

½ cup granulated sugar

Directions
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Base:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to create the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until set with a slight jiggle in the center. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Make the Strawberry Crunch:
Mix crushed golden Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries (or gelatin mix), and melted butter in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Sauce:
In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until strawberries soften and the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes). Let cool.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake Chunks:
Remove the chilled cheesecake from the pan and slice it into chunks or bars.
Drizzle the strawberry sauce over each chunk.
Sprinkle generously with strawberry crunch.
Drizzle melted white chocolate on top for a beautiful finish.
5. Serve:
Serve cold and enjoy! Perfect as a handheld treat or plated dessert.
