Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 200 g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
  • 100 g melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 400 g cream cheese (softened)
  • 200 g white chocolate (melted)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (pureed)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

For Topping (Optional):

  • Fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • White chocolate shavings
  • Strawberry sauce

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:
    Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Make Strawberry Puree:
    Blend fresh strawberries until smooth. Strain if you prefer a seedless texture.
  4. Prepare the Filling:
    In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and lemon juice. Mix well.
  5. Add Chocolate & Strawberry:
    Pour in melted white chocolate and strawberry puree. Mix until fully combined.
  6. Whip the Cream:
    In a separate bowl, whip cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Combine:
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture.
  8. Assemble:
    Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top.
  9. Chill:
    Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
  10. Decorate & Serve:
    Top with fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce, and white chocolate shavings before serving.

Tips:

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture.
  • Make sure the white chocolate is not hot when mixing, or it may curdle the filling.
  • Chill overnight for a firmer and cleaner slice.
  • For extra strawberry flavor, swirl strawberry sauce on top before chilling.
  • If strawberries are not in season, frozen strawberries (thawed) work well.
