Imagine biting into a golden, buttery crust that gives way to a creamy, tangy cheesecake filling and a burst of fresh strawberry jam. This Crispy Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwich is pure dessert bliss with layers of contrasting textures and a balance of sweet, tart, and creamy that makes each bite unforgettable.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use?

The star here is the crispy crust. You want something that can hold the filling without getting soggy. A buttery graham cracker crumble or crushed shortbread baked until golden is perfect. Avoid puff pastry or soft cookies—you need the crunch to contrast the creaminess inside.

Ingredients for the Crispy Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwich

• Cream Cheese: The rich and creamy base for our cheesecake filling.
• Powdered Sugar: Adds sweetness and blends smoothly into the cream cheese.
• Vanilla Extract: A hint of vanilla enhances the flavor of the cheesecake layer.
• Fresh Strawberries: For layering and garnish—use ripe, sweet berries for best flavor.
• Strawberry Jam or Compote: Brings a sticky, fruity sweetness to balance the tart cream cheese.
• Graham Cracker Crust Crumbles: Adds that all-important crunch.
• Butter: Helps bind the crust crumbles and gives that melt-in-your-mouth crispiness.

How To Make the Crispy Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwich

Step 1: Make the Creamy Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Chill for 15-20 minutes to help it firm up.

Step 2: Prepare the Crispy Crust Layers

Crush graham crackers or shortbread cookies and mix with melted butter. Press into a baking dish and bake until golden. Let cool completely before cutting into sandwich-sized squares.

Step 3: Layer with Love

Spread a generous amount of cheesecake filling on one crust square, then layer with strawberry jam and slices of fresh strawberries. Top with another crust square and press gently.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Let the assembled sandwiches chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps everything hold together when slicing or biting in.

How to Store and Serve These Cheesecake Sandwiches

Serve them chilled right out of the fridge for that perfect contrast of cold creaminess and crisp crust. If you want a warmer bite, 10 seconds in the microwave brings out the buttery notes but may soften the crunch.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, assemble just before serving to maintain the crisp factor.
