Strawberry Cream Cheesecake Draft

A chilled cheesecake on a baked crust, with a cream cheese and whipped cream filling topped with strawberries in gelatin. I make it a day ahead, since it needs a full day in the fridge.

How I make it

Crust

  1. Mix all the crust ingredients into a smooth dough and press it into a 10-inch (26 cm) round springform pan.

  2. Bake in a preheated hot oven until lightly browned.

Cheese filling

  1. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the sugar and add the sour cream.

  2. Whip the heavy cream with 2 tbsp sugar to stiff peaks, then fold it into the cheese mixture.

  3. Pour the cheese mixture over the baked crust in the pan.

Topping

  1. Prepare the gelatin according to the package directions.

  2. Halve the strawberries lengthwise, arrange them over the cheese and pour the gelatin over them.

  3. Refrigerate for 24 hours.

What I've learned

  • The 24 hours in the fridge are a must; I never cut them short.
