Ingredients
Scale

- 600 grams cream cheese, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 300 grams fresh strawberries, sliced
- 150 grams strawberry jam, gently warmed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius and line the base of a springform pan with parchment paper.
- Mix crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
