Ingredients
- 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 100g butter, melted
- 400g cream cheese, room temperature
- 200ml fresh cream, whipped
- 150g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300g strawberries, hulled and pureed
- Fresh strawberry halves, for topping
Instructions
- Combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter in a bowl until well mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream gently to maintain a light texture.
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Spoon half of the strawberry puree over the mixture and use a knife to gently swirl the puree through the cheesecake layer.
- Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and strawberry puree to create a beautiful layered effect.
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once set, remove gently from the springform pan and top with fresh strawberry halves before serving.
Helpful Tips
– Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
– You can use ready-made strawberry puree to save time.
– For added flavor, mix a tablespoon of lemon zest into the cream cheese mixture.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cheesecake for up to 1 month; just thaw it in the fridge before serving.
Pairings
This cheesecake pairs wonderfully with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of chilled sparkling water with a slice of lemon. For a full dessert table, consider serving alongside other light treats like lemon bars or a fruit salad.
