Strawberry Cheesecake Steps
Start by finely chopping the biscuits in a chopper, mix them with the melted butter in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a 9.45-inch diameter springform pan, and press it well on the bottom with a spoon. Put it in the fridge. In the meantime, soak the gelatin sheets in a little cold water for about 10 minutes.
Prepare the cream: In a bowl, work the cream cheese with the sugar until you get a smooth and fluffy cream. Wash and clean the strawberries, blend half of them, and set aside some whole for the final decoration.
Squeeze the gelatin and dissolve it in a saucepan over low heat, adding a spoonful of cream cheese, mix well. Incorporate the dissolved gelatin into the cream and mix gently. Whip the cream with an electric whisk and fold it into the cream using a spatula with gentle movements from bottom to top. Add the strawberry puree and stir slowly.
Now pour the obtained cream over the biscuit base and level the surface with a spatula. Decorate with whole strawberries and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
