Sunny Strawberry Cheesecake is a dessert that I always enjoy. The fresh strawberries with a cream cheese filling with a vanilla hit on a biscuit base is always perfect. Served as a dessert/pudding, it is a brilliant recipe to end a meal with. I like to prepare it in advance and serve on a hot day straight from the fridge.

- Transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl with the butter and sugar and stir to combine.65 g sugar, 115 g unsalted butter

- In a mixing bowl add the double cream and whisk until you achieve stiff peaks.300 g double cream
- Using a separate mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and sugar and lightly whisk until lovely and smooth.700 g cream cheese, 100 g sugar
- Add the sour cream, confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and whisk again until thoroughly combined.60 g sour cream, 15 g confectioners sugar, ½ medium lemon, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Using a soft spatula, fold the whisked cream gently into the mixing bowl combining the filling ingredients. Be gentle as you want it to be airy and light.
- Transfer the mixture into the now cooled base.
- Using a thin knife, run it around the edge of the pan to release the cheesecake from the dish.
- Once cool cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle the chilled chopped strawberries over the cheesecake and enjoy.280 g strawberries
