  • Press well into an even base.
  • Soak gelatine leaves in cold water for approx. 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle strawberries with sugar.

  • Fold strawberries, cream cheese and whipped cream together.
  • Remove the gelatine sheets from the water (with the water that clings to it).
  • Melt it in a bowl in a water bath.
  • Cool gelatine leaves with lemon juice, sieve, and stir into the strawberry mixture.
  • Spread the strawberry cream cheese on the biscuit base, cover the cake and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours until set.
  • Take the cheesecake out of the spring form, place it on a plate and decorate with strawberries.
Enjoy!
Tips

The intensity of the flavour is essential for this strawberry cheesecake. For the best result, use ripe strawberries for a sweeter and fruitier flavour. You can also use frozen strawberries if it is outside of the strawberry season but remember to consider the extra liquid added.

Tips

The cream cheese is the key to a creamy and smooth filling. Take it out of the fridge about an hour before making the filling so it is softened to room temperature. This will make it blend with the other ingredients, so you avoid getting lumps in the cheesecake. Another way to avoid lumps is to sieve the cream.

Tips

To check if your strawberry cheesecake is set, look for a shiny top that is firm to the touch. If it still feels jiggly, leave it longer in the fridge or move it to the freezer for about 30 minutes before cutting the cake. Do not freeze it longer than that, or the cheesecake loses the creamy texture right before serving.

Can you freeze strawberry cheesecake?
Yes, you can absolutely freeze strawberry cheesecake whole or cut into slices. All you need is cling film and foil. Wrap each piece of cheesecake tightly in cling film.

Everyone will want a piece of this divine purple treat.

You can also replace the strawberries with exotic fruit such as mango and pineapple to try out different flavour combinations – just make sure to not get too much liquid in the filling or to use a bit more gelatine to make sure it sets.
