Ingredients for the Cheesecake filling:

1. Cream cheese-500 gm
2. Whipping cream-200 gm
3. Caster Sugar-100 gm

Preparation:

• In a large bowl (or use blender) crumble the digestive biscuits to fine powder; add melted butter in to it and mix well.
• Grease a spring form cake tin with butter.
• Add the biscuit mix in to baking pan and press firmly.
• Keep it in fridge until the filling gets ready.
• Beat whip cream in a chilled bowl until smooth and stiff. 
• In another bowl; Beat cream cheese and sugar  until creamy and fluffy.
• Fold it with the whip cream.
• Heat lemon juice and strawberry puree in a pan along with 2 tbsp of water.
• Switch off the flame before boiling; add gelatin in to it and mix well. Allow to cool the mixture completely (must cools down before adding to cream mix).
• Add it in to the cream mix and fold once again.
• Pour this over the chilled base and allow to refrigerate for another 2 hours.
• For the topping; boil sugar and water in a pan until thickens (one string consistency).
• Then add mashed strawberries, lemon juice; mix well until thickens and switch off the flame. You must allow to cool completely the mix before topping on the cheese cake (otherwise the cheese starts melting; when you add the warm mix on top; or refrigerate the strawberry filling for 15 minutes to make sure that it is cooled).
