If you don't have a food processor, place the freeze-dried strawberries, cookies, and graham crackers in zipper bags and use a rolling pin to crush them instead. If you do not have a stand mixer, you can also use a hand mixer. The texture of the strawberry filling is a bit more fluffy and mousse-like than traditional cheesecake. If you prefer a denser, more traditional cheesecake filling, reduce the whipping cream from 1 ½ cups to 1 cup. The strawberry crumb topping may clump together in the fridge. Just use your hands or a spoon to gently break it apart into smaller crumbs. I recommend using an 8'' springform pan for easy slicing. If you don't have a springform pan, you can also use a pie plate or a 9'' springform pan. The layers will just be a bit thinner. If you want to decorate both the top and sides of the cheesecake with crumbs, double the topping recipe. I prefer just the top sweetness-wise, but it does look super cute with crumbs on the sides. This cheesecake will make 8 large or 12-16 small slices. It's pretty rich, so smaller slices are usually plenty! There is no need to wash the food processor or stand mixer in-between steps as long as you follow the steps above in order!
