- 18 oz (about 1 lb 2 oz) Cream cheese (spreadable)
- 3.5 oz (about 1/2 cup) Mascarpone

- 1 container (about 1 pint / 12 oz) Strawberries
- 1 tbsp Sugar
Tools
- Hand mixer
- Springform pan
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.
