Hi everyone!!!
Here I am again with a new recipe that you will love!… whenever I prepare it, it is a success !
I’m a big fan of home made cheesecakes. I love trying new recipes , and I can assure you that my favorite cheesecake recipe-book is growing more and more… So delicious all of them !… But this is one of my favorites when the strawberry season arrives. If you try it , you will understand why.
In general, cheesecake is a dessert with many advantages, and the biggest one is that they are liked by almost everyone. They are very easy to prepare, we can do it in advance and some of them do not even need to be baked. Another facility when it comes to preparing them is the amount of versions that exist, with a variety of different flavors and aesthetics in each one of them.
We use two different types of biscuits
To prepare the base of this cake we use two different types of biscuits. The digestive type and the Amarettini, This biscuit choice really gives it that special touch.
The cheese cream for the filling has a little white chocolate in it. That is the reason why I have not had to add much sugar as the white chocolate already sweetens the cream.
Before serving, I like to decorate the cake with strawberries and some melted white chocolate. A perfect combination of flavors that make it exquisite.
Adding strawberries makes it a perfect dessert !
