Ingredients
Scale
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed golden Oreos
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup strawberry glaze or preserves
1 cup prepared banana pudding
1 banana, sliced
1 cup whipped cream
1/2 cup fresh strawberries (for topping)
1 banana, sliced (for topping)
1/4 cup strawberry syrup
1/4 cup crushed vanilla wafers (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a bowl, mix crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers with melted butter and sugar until well combined.
Grease a springform pan and press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla and sour cream.
Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust.
Add a layer of crushed golden Oreos, chopped strawberries, and strawberry glaze over the cheesecake layer.
Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and smooth it out.
Bake for 55–60 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Let cool completely.
Spread banana pudding on top of the cooled cheesecake. Add banana slices and top with whipped cream.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Before serving, top with fresh strawberries, banana slices, strawberry syrup, and crushed vanilla wafers.
Notes
Let the cheesecake cool gradually to avoid cracks.
Refrigerating overnight improves flavor and texture.
You can swap strawberry glaze with strawberry jam if needed.
