   • Add sour cream and vanilla. Mix well.

   • Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. (Add flour if desired for firmer chunks.)

   • Pour over crust.

4. Bake Cheesecake:

   • Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is just set.

   • Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. Make the Crunch Topping:

   • Crush Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries together. Mix with melted butter until crumbly.

6. Assemble & Cut into Chunks:

   • Lift the chilled cheesecake out of the pan and cut into chunks.

   • Roll or press each chunk into the strawberry crunch topping, fully coating the sides.
