Ingredients:

140g Graham cracker (or digestive biscuit) crumbs
50g sugar
50g butter, melted
1 envelope unflavoured gelatine (7g powdered gelatine)
60ml cold water
240g cream cheese, softened (or you can use my home-made cream cheese recipe to prepare your own)
100g sugar
180ml milk
60ml lemon juice
250ml whipping cream, whipped
strawberry halves, to garnish

Method:

Combine the biscuit (cookie) crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl then press into the base of a 22cm diameter springform cake tin and set aside.

Meanwhile, place the gelatine in the water to soften and set aside for 10 minutes before pouring into a small saucepan and heating gently over low heat until dissolved. Take off the heat and set aside. Now beat the cream cheese until soft then beat in the sugar until thoroughly combined. Now beat in the gelatine and chill the mixture in the refrigerator until slightly thickened before folding in the whipped cream.

Pour the filling mix over the crust base then transfer to the refrigerator to chill until firm. Remove from the tin then top with strawberries just before serving.
