Cooking Instructions

  1. Grease and line the base of a 20 cm diameter loose-based, deep cake tin with baking paper.
  2. Mix the crushed biscuits with the butter and press down evenly onto the base of the cake tin. Chill for 20 minutes.
  3. Ina food processor, process the ricotta until smooth, then add the cream cheese, lemon juice and condensed milk and mix well. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  4. Mix the strawberry jam with the rose water and set aside.
  5. Warm the cream gently in a pan without boiling it. Cool until just warm.
  6. Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water for 4 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and stir into the warm cream until dissolved.
  7. Combine the ricotta and cream cheese mixture with the gelatine mixture and the strawberry jam. Mix well to combine.
  8. Spoon the filling onto the biscuit base and chill for at least 6 hours.
  9. Mix the strawberries and icing sugar in a bowl and set aside for 30 minutes for the sugar to dissolve.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the tin, top with the strawberries and serve.
