60ml (1/4 cup) white sugar
30ml (2 Tbsp) lemon juice
Zest of ½ a lemon
For the Filling:
-
500g cream cheese, softened
125ml (1/2 cup) sour cream
1 can condensed milk
10ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract
180ml (3/4 cup) strawberry sauce, cooled
250ml (1 cup) fresh cream
2 sachets gelatin powder
Directions
For the Crust:
-
In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and combine well.
Press the mixture into a 24cm springform tin, making sure it is pressed down well enough to ensure the base doesn’t crumble.
Place the tin in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
For the Strawberry Sauce:
-
In a medium sized saucepan, combine all the ingredients and simmer over medium heat for 10 – 15 minutes. Allow to cool then blend smooth.
For the Filling:
-
In large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, condensed milk, vanilla and strawberry sauce together until smooth.
In a separate large bowl, beat the cream until medium peaks form. Fold the cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
Bloom the gelatine powder then melt it. Pour it into the mixture and mix well.
Transfer the filling into the set crust and place it back into the fridge to set for 2 – 3 hours or overnight.
Once set, gently take the cheesecake out of the tin, and place it on your chosen serving dish. Top with the rest of the strawberry sauce and a few extra fresh strawberries and edible flowers to garnish.
Make sure to keep refrigerated to ensure it doesn’t soften too much. Enjoy!

Well worth the refrigeration time, it’s an absolute crowd stopper.
