Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake Cups
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set and slightly jiggly.
Allow the cheesecake cups to cool in the muffin tin for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Step 4: Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreo cookies, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter.
Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and forms a crunchy topping. Set aside until ready to assemble.
Step 5: Prepare the Strawberry Sauce (Optional)
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Stir frequently and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool completely.
Step 6: Assemble the Cheesecake Cups
Once the cheesecake cups are fully chilled, generously spoon the strawberry crunch topping over each cup.
(Optional) Drizzle each cheesecake cup with a little strawberry sauce for an extra burst of strawberry flavor.
