Instructions

Preparing the Crust and Crumble:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed Golden Oreo cookies with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.

  3. Gently fold in diced fresh strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.

Assembling and Baking:

  1. Pour the strawberry-infused cheesecake filling over the Golden Oreo crust in the baking pan.
  2. Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
  4. Allow the bars to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Tips for Summery Perfection
