Ingredients
For the base:
400g biscuits/ graham cracker
2/3 cup (150g) butter, melted
For the filling:
600g cream cheese (room temperature)
2 cups + 1tbsp (500ml) heavy cream
1.25 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
18g gelatin powder
90ml cold water
For the topping:
Strawberry Sauce (I used ready made sauce)
Directions
1. To make the crust: In a food processor, process biscuits until fine. add melted butter and process again until combined. Press onto bottom of 24cm/9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
2. To make the filling: Whisk together the gelatin and the cold water in a small bowl, set it aside to let the gelatin absorb the water.
3. In a bowl of stand mixer place the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. beat until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream and beat until incorporated. *Note: In the video I'm using flat beater to beat the cheese mixture. it's better to use a balloon whisk for better results.
4. Melt the gelatin in the microwave for 15 seconds. Pour the gelatin to the cheese mixture. Beat until incorporated and starts to thicken.
5. Pour the filling into the pan. Place in the freezer to harden before adding the topping.
6. After adding the topping place in the fridge to refrigerate overnight.
