- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 cup (100g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) strawberry jam or puree

Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreos or graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until evenly combined. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Divide the filling in half. Mix the strawberry jam or puree into one half of the filling to create a strawberry layer.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread the plain cheesecake layer evenly over the chilled crust. Spread the strawberry cheesecake layer on top of the plain layer. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping: In a bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreos, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the Crunch Topping: Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping evenly over the cheesecake.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
