Ingredients

  • 7 oz (about 1 2/3 cups) Plain dry cookies (for the crust)

  • 18 oz (about 1 lb 2 oz) Cream cheese (spreadable)

Tools

Preparation

  • To make the strawberry cheesecake, prepare the base by crushing the cookies, adding the melted butter and mixing well. Spread the mixture over the base of a springform pan (Ø 9.5 in), pressing firmly with the back of a spoon and place in the refrigerator to set.

  • Prepare the filling using an electric mixer: combine the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and the mascarpone.

  • Finally, whip the cream and fold it into the previously prepared cream, blending very gently with an upward motion.

  • Pour the resulting cream over the cookie base, level well and put the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

  • Take the strawberries and place them in a small saucepan over low heat together with the sugar, cooking until they break down; then place the sauce in a bowl and refrigerate.

  • When the dessert is well set, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving plate, top it with the strawberry sauce and decorate your cheesecake as you like.
