Whilst your cheesecake is resting in a bowl get your crust ready. Place the butter in the microwave and cook for a minute to melt it. Then use a food processor or blender to turn the biscuits into crumbs. Then load the crumbs into the butter, mix well with a fork.

Once cool, if there is no crack, cut a line in the middle of the cheesecake and place in the fridge for 12 hours.

Step 12

The next day, remove the main part of the spring form pan as it makes it easier to work with. Also, your cut line should have expanded as it has cooled. This is your strawberries line for adding your strawberries to and gives it a dinner party look.
