Instructions
- Grind the biscuits in a blender or crush them with a rolling pin in a bag into coarse crumbs. Add the melted butter and stir into a sticky dough.
- Place an adjustable cake ring on a tray or cake plate, pour in the mixture and press with a coffee-dosing spoon (the bottom of a glass or with your fingers) until you form a firm base.
- Line the wall of the ring with an acetate strip or a strip of baking paper and leave the biscuit base in the fridge to set.
- Stir the cream cheese, sugar, honey and the bourbon vanilla sugar into a smooth cream.
- Whip the Oetker Ole cream with the milk according to the instructions on the package.
- Whip 200 ml of the animal (heavy) cream to soft peaks.
- Soak the gelatine in the cold water for 5-10 minutes.
- Bring the remaining 100 ml of animal cream to a boil, remove from heat, add the soaked gelatine and stir until fully dissolved, then leave to cool slightly.
- Add the melted gelatine, stirring constantly, to the whipped Ole cream.
- Add the Ole cream in portions to the cream-cheese mixture and stir into a smooth cream.
- Gradually add the whipped cream to the mixture and stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon from the bottom upwards.
- Pour the cream over the biscuit base, level it, cover with plastic wrap and leave for at least 4 hours in the fridge — or if in a hurry, 30-40 minutes in the freezer and then at least 2 hours in the fridge.
- Release the finished cheesecake from the ring, remove the acetate strip (or baking paper) and decorate with fresh strawberries, optionally dusting with icing sugar through a sieve.
- Serve chilled, garnished with fresh strawberries or your preferred seasonal fruit.
