Strawberry cheese cake

I located this recipe on strawberry cheese cake in the weekly magazine Søndag (issue 26/2018), and I decided to serve it at the Royal Afternoon Tea as a part of the sweet treats. I decided to make in the classic cheese cake version with a biscuit bottom, cream cheese cake middle and fruit on the top instead of the trifle version in the recipe.

For your own convenience you should make this cheese cake the day before you plan to serve it, so it has time to set in the serving glasses. and thereby make it a easy cake to serve, while entertaining guests.

As other suggestions for cheesecake I could also suggest you to have a look at these cheese cake recipes: ris a la mande cheese cake, cheese cake with white chocolate and rhubarb, Christmas cheese cake & cheese cake with liquorice and lemon.
