Ingredients
For the base:
- 200g digestive biscuits (crushed)
- 100g unsalted butter (melted)
For the cheesecake filling:
- 300g white chocolate (chopped)
- 500g cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the strawberry topping:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the base
Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan to create an even layer.
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to set.
Step 2: Melt the white chocolate
Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3: Make the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Slowly pour in the melted white chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture for a light, airy texture.
Step 4: Assemble the cheesecake
Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
Step 5: Prepare the strawberry topping
In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the mixture softens and becomes slightly syrupy. Let it cool completely.
Step 6: Decorate and serve
Spread the strawberry topping over the chilled cheesecake. Slice and serve cold for the best texture and flavor.
