Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 300 grams (10.5 ounces) cream cheese
- 250 milliliters (8.5 fluid ounces) double cream
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) digestive biscuits
Binding and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 75 grams (2.6 ounces) soft butter
- 60 grams (2.1 ounces) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping and Garnish:
- 2 pots strawberry jam
- Fresh strawberries (optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Combine crumbs with softened butter, pressing mixture firmly and evenly across the base of a springform pan to create a compact foundation.
- Delicately spread a thin, even layer of strawberry jam over the biscuit base using a moistened spatula.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend cream cheese until smooth, gradually incorporating sugar and vanilla extract.
- In a separate clean bowl, whip double cream until it forms soft, billowy peaks.
- Carefully incorporate whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, folding gently to maintain airiness and prevent deflation.
- Transfer the luxurious cream mixture onto the jam-covered base, using a spatula to create elegant, swirled surface patterns.
- Artfully arrange fresh strawberry slices or drizzle strawberry sauce on top for enhanced visual appeal.
- Refrigerate for minimum 4-6 hours or preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld and texture to set perfectly.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing and better incorporation of cream cheese and cream.
- Crush biscuits finely for a compact, even base that holds together perfectly when slicing the cheesecake.
- Spread jam carefully with a wet spoon to create a thin, even layer that won’t mix with the cream cheese filling.
- Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to maintain light, airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture.
- For gluten-free version, replace digestive biscuits with gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour cookie crumbs.
- Avoid overmixing when combining cream cheese and whipped cream to prevent a dense, heavy texture.
- Chill cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours to allow flavors to meld and achieve perfect set consistency.
