Strawberry cheesecake recipe (by my sis fren meishan)
With photos (taken by me =D)

No baking required. Can use plastic containers, line the base and sides with aluminium foil or plastic so that can take out the cake after it hardens. The cake consists of biscuit base, cheese and jelly. You can vary the amount of each section as it only changes the height for each of those sections. Also adjust the amount of ingredient with the base area of the container you are using.

For container with base area of about 108 square inch (eg two 9" by 6" containers). Height about 2". Line the container with aluminium foil or plastic so cake does not stick to sides.

(ingredients needed for cheesecake)

Biscuit base
320g digestive biscuits, 160g salted butter

(bought from marks & spencer! haha)

Melt the butter till liquid (no need to boil) and leave till cool. Crush the biscuits till fine. Stir in the cool melted butter till well mixed. If butter is hot, biscuit will turn soggy, no good.

Press the biscuit into base of container. Put into fridge to cool while we prepare the cheese. Must press, so that when butter hardens, it forms a solid base.

Cheese
750g of cream cheese (buy from baking shop cheaper, otherwise Philadelphia cheese from NTUC will cost $15. You may choose to use 500g if don't like so much cheese and adjust the rest of ingredients accordingly.)

3 teaspoon gelatin powder (NTUC or baking shop) (more better)

70g sugar

A little vanilla essence
150ml boiling water (less better)
15 mid-small strawberries, cut in halves (not too red)

(washed)

Add gelatin in batches into boiling water and mix until dissolved. Dissolve sugar in the water too.

Cream the cheese (by hand or slow speed on electric mixer) until soft. You may need to soften the cheese before creaming. Add vanilla essence. Add gelatin syrup slowly and cream until smooth. The syrup must still be hot, else gelatin becomes sticky.

Pour into the container on top of biscuit base. Shake gently so that the height is even. Place strawberries on top of cheese, submerged partially. Refrigerate until cheese is firm.

Jelly
2 packs strawberry flavoured Tortally jelly
300ml boiling water
300ml cold water (put in fridge)

Can wait 1hr before preparing jelly. Dissolve jelly in boiling water or over small fire. Let cool. Add cold water, stir well, allow to cool completely.

Gently pour over hardened cheese (strawberries should not float). Preferably should have enough jelly to cover the strawberry. Put into fridge to harden.

Enjoy !!

PS: I didn't have chance to take a nice end-product coz was busy distributing the cake in a hurry as the ladies are heading home! haha nvm..shall take it the next time i do again =)
