A delightful summer treat that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the creaminess of cheesecake, all resting on a crispy biscuit base. Perfect for a warm summer evening, this dessert is not only visually appealing but also incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain sweet biscuits, crushed
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups (16 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup caster sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
- 3 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 3 oz strawberry flavored gelatin (e.g., Jell-O)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuit base: Prepare the biscuit base: Crush the cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the base of a greased and lined 8-inch round springform cake pan. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the thickened cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the gelatin: Dissolve the gelatin powder in 1/4 cup boiling water and let it cool slightly. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cheesecake mixture and mix until well combined. Pour the filling over the biscuit base and smooth the surface. Chill in the fridge for 3 hours or until set.
- Prepare the strawberry jelly: In a jug, dissolve the strawberry jelly crystals in 1 cup boiling water. Add 1 cup cold water and mix well. Allow the jelly to cool to room temperature, but do not let it set.
- Assemble the strawberry layer: Arrange the halved strawberries on top of the set cheesecake filling. Carefully pour the cooled jelly over the strawberries. Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or until the jelly is set.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it onto a serving plate. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this refreshing no-bake strawberry jelly cheesecake!
