Ingredients
300g digestive biscuits
150g unsalted butter, melted
600g full-fat cream cheese
100g powdered sugar
300ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
400g fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
2 tbsp strawberry jam
Instructions
- Line the base of a 23cm (9-inch) springform cake tin with parchment paper.
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
- Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of the tin, smoothing it with the back of a spoon. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled base and smooth the top.
- Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight to set completely.
- Before serving, arrange the halved strawberries on top. Warm the strawberry jam slightly and brush over the strawberries for a glossy finish.
Notes
For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight to ensure it sets properly.
You can swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries depending on the season.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze without the topping for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge and top with fresh berries before serving.
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
