Ingredients:
Crust:
- 7 oz digestive biscuits
- 3.5 oz unsalted butter
Batter:
- 17.6 oz cream cheese (e.g., Philadelphia)

Topping:
- 10.5-12.3 oz strawberries

- Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides with baking spray.

- Beat the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Then add flour, cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla sugar, mixing until well incorporated (about 1 minute).
- Switch to a whisk and gently stir in the eggs one at a time, being careful not to overmix and aerate the batter.
- Wrap the pan edges with aluminum foil and place a water bath in the oven to prevent cracking.
