  • 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.

  • Load the crumb mixture into the bottom of a spring form pan. Then use a fork to press down so that you have a level layer of crust.

  • Cover the cheesecake filling over the crumb base and make sure it is level and get rid of any lumps or bumps.

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

  • 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.

  • Start by filling strawberries along the line and then surround the top of the cheesecake with more sliced strawberries before serving.

Notes

Resting. For the best results fridge the cheesecake overnight in the fridge. I have found the best cheesecakes are ones that have been refrigerated for about 12 hours.
Quantities. I only like a small crust for my cheesecake, if you want a much thicker base, then I recommend you triple our butter and biscuit quantities.
Flavours. We made a strawberry cheesecake. You can swap the strawberries in this recipe for Oreos to make an Oreo cheesecake or how about pumpkin puree for a thanksgiving cheesecake?
Biscuits. For your biscuit crumb you can mix and match with what you prefer. We used digestives, but you can use Oreos, graham crackers or my other favourite is maria biscuits for a Mediterranean cheesecake.
Size. Note that this mixture is enough for a 7 inch strawberry cheesecake recipe. If you want a bigger one (or smaller) note that you will need to adjust the size.
