This Strawberry Cheese Cake Recipe is a no-bake, creamy and refreshing dessert featuring a biscuit base, fresh strawberry puree, and a luscious blend of hung curd and fresh cream. Perfect for a quick yet elegant treat, this cheesecake combines the tartness of strawberries with a smooth, velvety texture, finished with a delicate jelly layer made from agar agar for added firmness.

Ingredients

Biscuit Base

  • 4 biscuits
  • 3 teaspoon melted butter

Strawberry Layer

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, packed
  • 3 tablespoon sugar (adjust according to sweet/sour taste of strawberries)

Cheese Cream Layer

  • 1/2 cup hung curd
  • 1/2 cup fresh cream

Jelly Layer

  • 1/2 tablespoon china grass (agar agar)
  • 2 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Prepare Hung Curd and Biscuit Base: Hang curd in a cloth for an hour to drain all water and obtain 1/2 cup thick hung curd. Meanwhile, crush the biscuits roughly and then powder them to a semi-fine mixture. Add the melted butter and mix thoroughly until the mixture is moist.
  2. Form Biscuit Layer: Spoon the biscuit mixture evenly into serving glasses, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon or fingertips to create a solid base. Refrigerate this layer while preparing the other components.
  3. Make Strawberry Puree: Roughly chop fresh strawberries and blend them with sugar until smooth. Optionally, heat this puree in a pan just until it reaches a boil to enhance flavor and dissolve sugar completely. Set aside to cool. Reserve 1/4 cup of this puree for the top layer.
  4. Prepare Cheese Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the hung curd and fresh cream, whisking until smooth. Stir in the strawberry puree (except the reserved 1/4 cup) and mix well. Taste and adjust sugar if needed, beating well to dissolve.
  5. Dissolve Agar Agar: In a small pan, bring 2 tablespoons of water to a boil. Place a heat-resistant small cup containing agar agar into the boiling water, allowing it to dissolve completely until the liquid is clear.
  6. Combine Jelly with Cream Mixture: Add the dissolved agar agar liquid to the strawberry cheese cream mixture and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  7. Assemble and Chill: Pour the strawberry cheese cream mixture over the biscuit base in the glasses. Then drizzle the reserved strawberry puree on top as the finishing layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set and firm.
  8. Serve: Once set, serve chilled for a refreshing and creamy strawberry cheesecake dessert experience.

Notes

  • Hanging the curd is essential to remove excess water and achieve the right thick consistency for the cream layer.
  • The heating of strawberry puree is optional but helps dissolve sugar and enhances flavor.
  • You can substitute china grass (agar agar) with gelatin if preferred, but agar agar is vegan-friendly.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of strawberries and personal taste preferences.
  • This recipe does not require baking and is suitable for warm weather desserts.
