# What You’ll Need:

01 -
15 Golden Oreo cookies, crushed
02 -
1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder
03 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Cheesecake Filling
04 -
225 grams (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese, softened
05 -
100 grams (3/4 cup) powdered sugar, sifted
06 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 -
240 ml (1 cup) cold heavy whipping cream
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Golden Oreos with strawberry gelatin powder, then stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand and clumps slightly.
02 -
Beat softened cream cheese until light and fluffy, then incorporate vanilla extract and sifted powdered sugar until smooth and lump-free.
03 -
In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream holds its shape without graininess.
04 -
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using broad strokes to maintain airiness, then scoop into bite-sized balls and place on a lined tray.
05 -
Freeze shaped balls for 20–30 minutes until firm but not frozen solid, preparing them for coating.
06 -
Roll each cheesecake ball in the crunch coating, pressing gently to adhere evenly, then return to the tray and refrigerate until ready to serve.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Chill mixing bowl and beaters prior to whipping cream to achieve stiff peaks faster.
02 -
Use a food processor for uniform cookie crumbs in the crunch coating.
03 -
Roll bites while slightly chilled to enhance coating adhesion.
