If you would rather not hear my super helpful tips and tricks, FAQ, and my overall awesomeness and get straight to this delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Bars – you can very easily scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for the full printable FREE recipe! Bon appetit.
Why this recipe works:
- Cheesecake Bars bake up quicker and take less time than your traditional cheesecake.
- The flavors together with a homemade strawberry sauce is amazing.
- The golden Oreos as a crust and a topping gives it a creamy and crunchy texture that’s perfect.
They are relatively easy too, so score! It’s a touch time consuming because everything is made from scratch, but to me, that’s half the fun!
Unless you count cleaning up which is the one thing I hate most! Oh well! I got the recipe for the cheesecake filling from HERE.
Oreo Cheesecake Bars are a delicious treat year round! I’m not one who always believes things need to be seasonal.
Some of my other favorite cheesecake desserts I have include Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars, Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake and No Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake.
How to make Strawberry Cheesecake Bars:
- Process half of the golden Oreos in a food processor. Add butter and process until fully combined.
- Press crumbs into a foil/parchment lined baking sheet or a non-stick baking pan.
- In a pot cook strawberries with water and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add in a cornstarch lemon juice mixture.
- Then using your food processor process the strawberries until smooth. Set aside.
- Make the cream cheese mixture by combining the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg. Then spread on top of your Oreo crumbs.
- Pour the strawberry mixture on top of the cream cheese.
- Bake until cheesecake is just slightly jiggly. Let cool.
- Crush the remaining Oreos and sprinkle on top.
- Refrigerate covered until set (about 3 hrs).
This is really an easy recipe, people always think that Cheesecake Bars are hard, but they are really actually pretty simple.
How to store:
These bars should not be left out at room temperature for more than 4 hours. Since they contain cream cheese, they need to be refrigerated.
You can keep them in the baking pan, but you can also remove from the pan and cut int individual servings and place in an airtight container.
You can also wrap the pan with some plastic wrap or tinfoil and store in the refrigerator and they should last about 3-4 days.
Can cheesecake bars be frozen?
Yes! Simply freeze the bars on a plate and once frozen place in an airtight container and keep in the freezer for several months!
The Oreos on top probably won’t be as fresh tasting but other than that they will be delicious!
Oh yea, Jeremy tore these up to. You know how he is a cheesecake freak and he said these were like eating the real thing, score!
I really love the addition of the Oreos, it might be my favorite part! Aren’t these Golden Oreo Strawberry Cheese Cake Bars just gorgeous?!
Tips and Tricks:
- Make sure your cheesecake mixture is as smooth as possible when blending.
- The strawberry sauce needs to be completely smooth, this will help it not sink into the cheesecake.
- You can easily double this recipe.
- These can be frozen, you can see my tips for that above.
- Make sure they are completely cooled before refrigeration.
- We like to use a sharp knife run under hot water and wiped off to make the perfect cut.
Tools used to make Golden Oreo Strawberry Cheesecake Bars:
These Golden Oreo Strawberry Cheesecake bars are so stinking tasty that I could eat one or a whole pan every single day.
This is not a lie, I wish it were, but sadly it is not. This is one of our most requested desserts during this time of year so we always oblige.
We just can’t get enough of them, they are the perfect dessert, but I kind of have an addition to Cheesecake Bars to begin with so that probably is why I love these so much.

When I saw this recipe I just had to make them. I just made them and my strawberries did the same thing, sunk. I’m thinking the cheesecake mixture was just too thin bit I’m not sure how to fix that.
Ashley says
Awesome! Thanks, my family love cheesecake, strawberries, and Oreos.
Jessie says
How many servings is this?
Dana DeVolk says
I cut them into 9 even pieces, but they come out as large bars.
Erica says
I’m like drooling. Thanks for this recipe!
Babs says
Yummy! Also, where did you get the glass and metal sugar/flour, etc. containers on your counter?
Dana DeVolk says
Kirklands! 🙂
Marie says
My niece brought this to a family gathering. It was a tremendous hit. Now I intend to test my hand at it.
Courtney says
This was a fabulous dessert that was a huge hit at 4th of July!
Barb Patrick says
Your text part at the beginning says to only use half of the strawberry mixture, but the actual recipe directions just say to add the strawberry mixture. If you just use half, why not just make half as much? That makes more sense.
Dana DeVolk says
Thanks for pointing that out. The recipe is correct as I changed it recently so there would be no leftovers. I will update the text, thanks again!
Julie Newman says
Made these tonight for a Valentine’s Day treat! They are delicious – I added some salt to the crust to break up the sweetness a little bit and I left the strawberry sauce a little chunky. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
Patsy says
I haven’t tried this yet but I will this weekend for Mothers day for me.
Tina Pulliam says
8/28/2021 I literally just made these (2 pans) how easy and your recipe is so simple to follow. Thank you so much!!
Judy says
This was a hit with everyone. I love lemon so I used lemon Oreos for the crust and top. I doubled the lemon juice in the strawberry mixture and I added the zest of a lemon into the cheesecake mixture. Absolutely delightful!
Shari G. says
Is oven supposed to be 350° or 325°? Your recipe says both.
Dana DeVolk says
There are different temperatures for different steps.
Angela says

Lindsey says
How big of a pan am I supposed to use?
