Preparation Steps

Prepare the Crust: Crush 24 Golden Oreos in a food processor, mix with 5 tablespoons of melted butter, and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and fluffy.
Add the Strawberries: Gently fold the finely diced fresh strawberries into the cheesecake filling.
Chill the Cheesecake: Spread the filling evenly over the prepared crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Add the Strawberry Crunch Topping: In a food processor, pulse the remaining 12 Golden Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the chilled cheesecake before slicing and serving.
