Ingredients

  • 250g digestive biscuits or graham crackers

  • 120g unsalted butter, melted

  • 400g cream cheese, softened

  • 250ml heavy whipping cream

  • 100g powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

  • Extra fresh strawberries for serving, if desired

Directions

  • Prepare the crust: Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs, then mix with melted butter until evenly coated. Press firmly into the base of a 20cm or 8-inch springform pan and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and lump-free. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Combine and assemble: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  • Chill and cook the glaze: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours. Meanwhile, cook strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until softened, then add the cornstarch slurry and simmer until thick and glossy.
  • Finish and serve: Let the glaze cool slightly, then pour it over the cheesecake and spread evenly. Refrigerate for another 1 to 2 hours until fully set before slicing.

    Chef’s Tips for Perfect Results

    • Chill overnight for ultra-clean slices. Therefore, the filling becomes firmer and easier to cut beautifully
    • Do not pour hot glaze over the cheesecake. Meanwhile, cooling it slightly helps protect the creamy filling from melting
    • Use a warm knife for perfect cuts. As a result, every slice looks smooth, sharp, and bakery-worthy
    • Blend the glaze for a smoother finish. Because this creates a glossy topping with a more elegant texture
