120 g crushed digestive biscuits I used gluten-free ones 50 g melted butter 300 g full fat cream cheese 200 ml double cream 1 egg 1 yolk 75 g white chocolate 50 g dark chocolate 9 strawberries
Preheat the oven to 150C and line a cupcake tin with paper cupcake cases.
In a bowl, mix together the crushed biscuits and melted butter until sand-like in texture.
Use a teaspoon to transfer small amounts of the biscuit mixture into each case. Use your fingers to press each base down.
Make the topping by mixing together the cream cheese and double cream.
Beat in the whole egg and yolk.
Melt the white chocolate and stir into the cream mixture. Set aside.
Finely chop 3 of the strawberries and layer some of the small pieces over each biscuit base.
Top each one with a generous amount of the cream topping, almost to the tops of the cases.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until just starting to brown at the edges, but still slightly wobbly in the centre.
Turn oven off and crack the door open - leave to cool for about 10 mins.
Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
Melt the dark chocolate and halve the remaining strawberries.
Use a piping bag to pipe chocolate patterns onto the cheesecakes and attach a strawberry half to each.
Chill the cheesecakes in their cases in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
