Base
- 250g packet plain biscuits
- 100g butter, melted
Cheesecake Topping
- 250ml thickened cream
- 250g cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp strawberry jam
Topping
- 250g strawberries, sliced
- Prepare the Base: Crush the plain biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a lined square or rectangular baking pan to form an even layer. Chill in the fridge while preparing the topping.
- Make the Cheesecake Topping: In a large bowl, whip the thickened cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar, and lemon zest together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the strawberry jam into the cream cheese mixture, then carefully fold the whipped cream into this mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Slice: Pour the cheesecake topping over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the surface evenly with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Add Fresh Strawberries: Once set, arrange the sliced strawberries attractively over the top of the cheesecake before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for a smooth topping mixture without lumps.
- Ensure the biscuit base is firmly pressed to avoid crumbling when slicing.
- Chilling time of at least 4 hours is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly.
- Substitute strawberry jam with any berry jam for a different flavor.
- Keep cheesecake refrigerated until serving for best texture and freshness.
