For the base:
For the filling:
For the sauce:
- Lightly butter the base and sides of a deep 20cm springform cake tin and line the bottom with baking paper.
- Put the digestive biscuits into a food processor and mix until they turn into crumbs. (This can be also done by breaking up the biscuits in a bag with a rolling pin).
- Add in the melted butter and mix.
- Tip into the tin spread out and press down firmly to make an even base. Put into the fridge to set.
- Put the cream cheese into a mixing bowl and whisk until fluffy. Add the icing sugar and gently whisk until smooth.
- Pour the cream into a separate bowl, add the vanilla extract, and whisk to very soft peaks.
- Gently fold the cream and diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the filling over the biscuit base and spread until even and smooth. Put the cheesecake into the fridge and leave to set for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- To make the topping, put a 100g of quartered strawberries into a small pan with the caster sugar and a splash of water, and cook over a low-medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the strawberries have softened.
- Gently mash the strawberries in the pan to break them down, then pass through a sieve into another bowl and pour the juice back into the pan. Add the cornflour and stir constantly on a low heat until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Cool.
- Once the cheesecake has set, take it out of the fridge, carefully remove from the tin and transfer to a serving plate.
- Pour over the strawberry sauce, top with the remaining strawberries and serve and enjoy.
