• 200 grams Marie biscuits or graham crackers
• 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 250 grams cream cheese, room temperature
• 80 grams powdered sugar
• 200 ml liquid whipping cream (dairy cream)
• 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp plain agar-agar powder (optional, for stability)
• 3 tbsp cooled boiled water
• 250 grams fresh strawberries, diced small
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar for the strawberry sauce
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cornstarch (dissolved in a little water, for the sauce)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1 Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs — you can use a food processor, or put them in a plastic bag and roll over them with a bottle.
2. 2 Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined and it feels like wet sand.
3. 3 Pour the biscuit mixture into a springform pan or a cake ring about 7-8 inches (18-20 cm) in diameter, then flatten and press firmly with the back of a spoon. Keep it in the fridge while you prepare the next steps.
4. 4 Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a mixer on low-medium speed until smooth and lump-free.
5. 5 In a separate bowl, whip the liquid whipping cream until it forms soft peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture, gently stirring with a spatula so you don't knock out the air.
6. 6 Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir until well combined.
7. 7 Dissolve the plain agar-agar powder in the cooled boiled water, then heat briefly in the microwave or over low heat until dissolved (don't let it boil for long). Let it cool slightly, then pour it little by little into the cream cheese mixture while stirring quickly so it doesn't clump.
8. 8 Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled biscuit base, then smooth out the surface with a spatula.
9. 9 Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
10. 10 For the strawberry sauce, cook the diced strawberries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice over low heat until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
11. 11 Add the dissolved cornstarch and keep stirring until the sauce thickens and turns glossy, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
12. 12 Once the cheesecake has set, remove it from the pan, then drizzle or pour the strawberry sauce over the top just before serving.
