INGREDIENTS:
• 250g digestive biscuits;
• 100g butter 82% fat;
• 600g cream cheese;
• 4 large eggs (or 5 smaller ones);
• 300g powdered sugar;
• 200ml cream for whipping cream;
• 1 vanilla essence;
• 50g corn starch.
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
1. Using a chopper, I crushed the biscuits. I added the melted butter over them and mixed until I got the consistency of wet sand. I placed the composition in the pan lined with baking paper (24cm diameter pan) and then I leveled it well. I also placed the composition on the walls of the tray. I put it in the fridge until the cream was ready.
2. In a bowl I cracked the eggs and added the powdered sugar. I mixed until they doubled in volume, at which point I also added the cream cheese, whipping cream and essence. I mixed again until I obtained a homogeneous composition and then I also incorporated the starch.
3. I put the cream over the base and put it in the oven for an hour and 20 minutes at 160*C. I also placed a bowl of hot water in the oven and left it there for the entire time the cheesecake baked.
4. Let it cool until it reaches room temperature and then garnish with the strawberry sauce.
SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
• 700g of fresh strawberries;
• 2 tablespoons of sugar;
• 1 tablespoon of corn starch;
• 1/2 lemon juice.
METHOD OF PREPARATION SAUCE:
1. I cut 500g of strawberries into quarters. I turned them into a paste using a vertical mixer.
2. I added the sugar, starch and lemon juice over them. I mixed and left everything on low heat for 15 minutes.
3. I waited for it to come to room temperature, put the rest of the diced strawberries in the mixture and put it in the fridge until the cheesecake was ready.
Good appetite!
