Servings: 15 slices
Ingredients
Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter melted
Filling
- 560 g full fat cream cheese
- 125 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300 ml double cream
- 300 g white chocolate melted
- 300 g fresh strawberries chopped
- Freeze dried strawberries
Decoration
- 50 g white chocolate melted
- 150 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- Freeze dried strawberries
- White chocolate strawberries
Instructions
Base
- Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a small crumb, and add the melted butter - either pulse in the food processor a few times till the mixture is combined, or mix it in a bowl
- Tip the biscuits into a 8"/20cm deep springform tin and press down firmly
Cheesecake
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave on short bursts until full melted
- Leave to cool whilst doing the rest
- In your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla together until smooth
- Pour in the double cream and whisk until thick!
- Once completed, pour in the cooled white chocolate, and whisk briefly to combine
- Fold through the chopped fresh strawberries and some freeze dried strawberries
- Spread the mix over the biscuit base, smooth over and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight so it will definitely be set
Decoration
- Drizzle over the melted white chocolate
- Whip together the double cream and icing sugar and then pipe on in swirls! I used a 2D Closed Star Piping.
- I then add some fresh strawberries to the top (6 usually) and sprinkle on some white chocolate sprinkles and the freeze dried strawberries
- ENJOY!
Notes
- I recommend using a 8"/20cm deep springform tin in this recipe!
- You could easily serve this cheesecake with practically any fruit you like, but I find strawberries work exceptionally well
- I buy my freeze dried strawberries online here
