Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 80g melted butter
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 kg cream cheese, softened
- 200g white chocolate, melted
- 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 200 ml heavy cream (36% fat), whipped to soft peaks
- For the Strawberry Coulis (Frużelina):
- 300g strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- Combine the crushed digestive biscuits with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or tart pan. Set in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
- Gradually add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, stirring continuously.
- Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Return to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Prepare the Strawberry Coulis:
- In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices and the sugar dissolves.
- Mix the cornstarch with cold water and add to the strawberry mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly until the coulis thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, pour the coulis over the set cheesecake or serve on the side.
- To Serve:
- Once the cheesecake is fully set, release it from the springform pan. If desired, arrange fresh strawberry slices on top and drizzle with extra coulis.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Storage: Keep the cheesecake refrigerated and consume within 3-5 days for the best flavor and texture.
