Ingredients
– ΒΌ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) water
– 2 sachets (16 g/5 teaspoons) unflavored powdered gelatin
– 3 cups (9 oz/255 g) plain biscuits (such as graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
– Β½ cup (4 oz/115 g) melted butter
– 3 cups (15 oz/426 g) fresh strawberries hulled
– β cup (2 Β½ oz/71 g) granulated sugar
– 3 cups (24 oz/675 g) block cream cheese room temperature
– 1 Β½ cups (12 fl oz/360 ml) heavy whipping cream
– Extra strawberries and whipped cream for decoration
Instructions
1-First: sprinkle the unflavored powdered gelatin over ΒΌ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) of water in a small bowl and let it set for 10 minutes. This blooming process is essential for a smooth texture.
2-Next: blend 3 cups (9 oz/255 g) of plain biscuits into fine crumbs, then add Β½ cup (4 oz/115 g) of melted butter and mix until it holds together.
3-Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then cover and chill it in the refrigerator. To avoid leaks, line the panβs bottom with parchment paper and wrap the sides with tin foil.
4-Microwave the set gelatin for 20 to 30 seconds to liquefy it, then let it cool for 5 minutes to prevent lumps when mixing.
5-Puree 3 cups (15 oz/426 g) of fresh strawberries (hulled) and β cup (2 Β½ oz/71 g) of granulated sugar in a food processor until smooth, creating a vibrant base.
6-Add 3 cups (24 oz/675 g) of block cream cheese to the strawberry puree and blend until smooth for that creamy consistency.
7-Mix about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the cooled gelatin quickly to temper it and avoid lumps.
8-While blending, pour in 1 Β½ cups (12 fl oz/360 ml) of heavy whipping cream and the gelatin mixture, continuing until the filling thickens nicely.
9-Pour the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust, smooth the top, and cover with plastic wrap.
10-Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve the best texture.
11-Before serving, decorate with whipped cream rosettes and extra fresh strawberries.
