🍓 Choosing the Best Strawberries
Fresh strawberries make all the difference in this recipe. Try to choose strawberries that are:
- Bright red
- Sweet and fragrant
- Firm but juicy

Fresh seasonal strawberries provide the best flavor and natural sweetness.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Crust
Start by crushing the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. You can use:
- A food processor
- A blender
- Or place them in a zip bag and crush them with a rolling pin
Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and pour in the melted butter.
Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or cheesecake mold. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to create an even layer.
Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Gelatin
In a small bowl, add the gelatin to the water and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom.
Then gently heat it until fully dissolved. Do not boil.
Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Make the Strawberry Filling
Wash and slice the strawberries.
Blend them until smooth to create a fresh strawberry puree.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until creamy and smooth.
Add the strawberry puree and mix well.
Step 4: Whip the Cream
In another bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This step helps create the light and airy texture that makes this cheesecake so delicious.
Add the dissolved gelatin and mix gently until fully incorporated.
Step 5: Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit crust.
Smooth the top using a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
