Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 200 g 7 oz digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 80 g 3 oz unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 300 ml 1.25 cups double cream
  • 400 g 14 oz full-fat cream cheese
  • 100 g 3.5 oz icing sugar, sifted
  • 400 g 1 lb strawberries, finely chopped and drained

For the Topping

  • 200 g 7 oz strawberries, some left whole and the rest halved

Instructions
 

  • Combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter in a bowl until evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform cake tin. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  • Finely chop the strawberries and place them in a sieve. Allow excess juice to drain completely. Discard the liquid and set the strawberries aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the double cream, cream cheese, and sifted icing sugar.
  • Using an electric whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes very thick and holds its shape. The consistency should be similar to soft ice cream.
  • Gently fold the drained strawberries into the cheesecake mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Remove the chilled base from the refrigerator and spoon the filling over it.
  • Smooth the surface with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully.
  • Carefully remove from the tin and decorate with the remaining strawberries before serving.

Notes

  • Digestive biscuits can be replaced with graham crackers.
  • Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor and texture.
  • Add a drizzle of strawberry sauce before serving for an elegant presentation.
  • Serve chilled with whipped cream or fresh mint leaves.
