How to Make No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

  1. **Make the base:** In a food processor, finely crumb 200g digestive biscuits. Add 100g melted unsalted butter and pulse until combined.
  2. **Press into dish:** Reserve 1/3 cup of the crumb mixture. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. (A glass dish showcases the beautiful layers!)
  3. **Prepare the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 500g softened cream cheese and 200g caster sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. **Whip and fold:** In a separate bowl, whip 500ml heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. **Layer and chill:** Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
  6. **Make the jelly topping:** In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons cornflour and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  7. **Dissolve jelly:** Remove from heat and stir in one 3 oz packet of strawberry jelly crystals until completely dissolved.
  8. **Chill the jelly:** Refrigerate the jelly until it begins to set but is still pourable.
  9. **Add strawberries:** Gently fold in 500g sliced strawberries into the partially set jelly.
  10. **Top the cheesecake:** Spoon the strawberry jelly mixture evenly over the chilled cream cheese filling.
  11. **Crumb topping:** Sprinkle the reserved 1/3 cup crumb mixture over the top.
  12. **Final chill:** Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.
  13. **Serve:** Carefully cut into squares using a fish slice (this works best!). Serve immediately, with optional whipped cream on the side or on top.
