Ingredients
Nut crumble
- 250 g flour
- 170 g butter
- 110 g macadamia nuts
- 110 g almonds
- 110 g demerara sugar
- 1/2 t vanilla extract
Cheesecake
- 125 g crème fraîche
- 225 g Philadelphia cheese
- 100 g icing sugar
- 150 ml Strawberry Syrup plus extra to garnish
- 250 ml cream
- 3 leaves gelatine
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- To make the crumble topping, preheat the oven to 160°C/Gas mark 3. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until the mixture is the texture of breadcrumbs. Spread out the crumble on a baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes, being sure to stir the crumble mixture every 10 minutes. Remove when the mixture is golden brown and set aside to cool.
- For the cheesecake, soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes, and use a little bit of the cream and melt the gelatine over a double boiler. Set aside to cool.
- Mix together the crème fraîche, cream cheese, sugar, and strawberry syrup (I used an electric stand mixer with a whisk attachment). Put the cream in a separate bowl and whisk until stiff. Gently fold the gelatine into the cream mix and gradually fold the stiff cream into the cream cheese mixture little by little until completely combined.
- To assemble the cheesecake, spoon out a layer of crumble at the bottom of your serving glass and top with a good dollop of strawberry cheesecake mix. refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Decorate with a drizzle of strawberry syrup and a few slices of fresh strawberries.
