Strawberry cheesecake in a glass, creamy and light

A light cheesecake with a smooth texture, crunchy base and fruity aroma that brings a fresh and balanced pleasure.

A fresh and creamy dessert served in glasses, with a crunchy digestive biscuit base, a smooth cream made with cheese and yogurt, and the aromatic fruity touch of Alma’s Strawberries and Cream infusion. Ideal to prepare in advance and enjoy well chilled.

Ingredients (for 5 glasses):

     For the base:

• 140 g digestive biscuits
• 60 g melted butter

     For the cream: 

• 3 tea bags of Alma Strawberries and Cream infusion
• 200 g cream cheese (preferably light)
• 150 g plain Greek yogurt or strained fresh cheese
• 100 ml light cream (or plant-based creamy drink)
• 3–4 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
• 2 gelatine sheets (or 4 g powdered gelatine)

     For the topping:

• 120 g fresh strawberries, finely chopped
• 3–4 tablespoons crushed digestive biscuits

Preparation:

1. Biscuit base: Crush the digestive biscuits until fine crumbs. Mix with the melted butter until you get a moist and compact mixture. Divide between the 5 glasses (about 2–3 tablespoons per glass), press lightly, and refrigerate.
2. Infusion: Prepare the infusion using 3 tea bags of Alma Strawberries and Cream in 300 ml of hot water for 8–10 minutes. Strain and set aside.
3. Cheesecake cream: Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5–10 minutes. Heat about 80–100 ml of the infusion and dissolve the hydrated gelatine in it. Let it cool slightly. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with yogurt and honey until smooth. Add lightly whipped cream and fold in the infusion with gelatine. Mix gently until fully combined.
4. Assembly: Spoon the cream over the biscuit base in the glasses, filling almost to the top. Chill for at least 3–4 hours (preferably overnight) until set.
5. Topping: Before serving, add finely chopped fresh strawberries and finish with a thin layer of crushed digestive biscuits for texture.

Recommendation
Resting time is key for the texture to become firm yet creamy. The next day, the flavour of the Strawberries and Cream infusion becomes even more integrated.
