This strawberry yogurt cheesecake is absolutely fluffy, light and tender – all you need in summer! It is easy and quickly to make – no need to bake anything!
Only imagine the combination: a crusty crust made from nuts, cookies and chocolate, topped with a most tender soufflé made from fresh strawberries, yogurt and whipped cream…
You must treat your beloved ones and yourself in strawberry season!
Here are some tips for you:
If you want your cheesecake to be extremely tender, use 9 gelatin leaves (or gelatin powder per 750 ml liquid). The recipe calls for such consistency, and the result you can see at the photos. The cheesecake is so tender that it will just melt in your mouth. If you like cheesecakes of thicker consistency, add more getalin.
You must use cookies coated in chocolate – white or black, to your taste. The combination of chocolate, nuts and strawberries with whipped cream is gorgeous.
If you want the sides of your cheesecake to be perfectly even, cover the sides of the springform pan with a 4-5 cm stripe of parchment paper. Fix it to the base when pressing the mixture for the crust into the pan.
