Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Fresh strawberries
- 250 g Cream cheese (softened)
- 200 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 100 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 200 g Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 50 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice about 400g of strawberries into thin slices, reserving 100g for garnish or puree.
Place the digestive biscuits in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor until finely ground.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy filling.
Assemble the dessert by layering in serving glasses or small bowls: start with a spoonful of the biscuit crumb mixture, followed by a layer of the cream filling, and then a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a layer of strawberries on top.
Optionally, puree the reserved 100g of strawberries to create a topping sauce, or leave them whole for garnish.
Drizzle the strawberry puree over the top layer, or place whole strawberries on top for decoration. Add a sprig of fresh mint leaves if desired.
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the cream layer to set.
