# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner. Bake the crust for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled crusts in the muffin tin. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set and slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.

In a small bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreos, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter. Mix until the texture is crumbly. Once the mini cheesecakes are chilled, top each one with a generous amount of the strawberry crunch mixture.

Top the Mini Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry slice, if desired. Serve and enjoy.
