Ingredients

100g melted butter

150g crushed digestive biscuits

400g Asda Lighter Soft Cream Cheese

454g punnet Asda Fresh Strawberries, washed and hulled

200ml Asda Double Cream, thickly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

75g caster sugar

½ a lemon, juice of

Method

1
Line a 20cm springform tin with a circle of greaseproof paper. Run a strip of greaseproof paper around the inside of the tin.
2
Mix the melted butter with the biscuit crumbs and press into the bottom of the prepared tin. Chill until needed.
3
Cut half the strawberries into slices or halves and arrange around the edge of the tin, so the cheesecake will look attractive when served.
4
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice until they reach a smooth consistency. Add the double cream (beaten) and combine well.
5
Pour a little of the filling mixture over the base, add a few more strawberries so you have a layer, and cover with the remaining filling. Cover with cling film and chill well.
6
Just before serving, prepare the remaining strawberries and use to decorate the top of the cheesecake. Remove the cheesecake from the tin.
7
Because this cheesecake does not contain gelatine, it will take a while to set - allow 4-5 hours or, ideally, leave overnight. Best served straight from the fridge.
