# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat. Grab a mini muffin tray and put paper liners in each slot. Use a bowl to mix together the graham crumbs, sugar, and butter until sandy. Press about a tablespoon into the bottom of each liner, making a tight layer. Bake for around 5-7 minutes until it looks golden. Let the tray sit when done so it cools down.

Take a big mixing bowl and blend the cream cheese with the sugar until smooth. Add in the sour cream, egg, and vanilla, mixing until it's all creamy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries last. Carefully spoon this filling on top of the prepared crusts in the muffin tray. Bake for roughly 15-18 minutes. They should be firm with a slight jiggle in the middle. Remove and cool completely before refrigerating for at least two hours.

In a small dish, stir the crushed Oreos, ground freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter until it forms clumps. Once the cheesecakes are completely chilled, sprinkle a generous portion over each one as the topping.
