For The Syrup Glaze:
- 100 grams / 3.5 oz sugar
- 50 ml water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
For The Base:
- 250 grams / 8.8 oz digestive biscuits
- 100 grams / 3.5 oz butter melted
For The Cream:
- 600 grams / 1 lb + 5 oz cream cheese
- 200 grams / 7 oz icing sugar
- 300 ml whipping cream 35% fat
- 250 grams / 8.8 oz Greek yogurt full-fat strained
- ¼ lemon zested
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Topping:
- 400 grams / 14 oz strawberries
Make The Base:
Add the cookies to a food processor and blend until finely crumbled.
Add to a mixing bowl and mix together with the melted butter. Use your hands to do the mixing as this will ensure the butter spreads evenly.
Transfer the cookie mixture to a round 10-inch non-stick Springform pan. Press with your hands to form an even and smooth cookie base. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
For The Cream:
Add the cream cheese to your electric mixer's bowl. With the whisk attachment on beat over medium speed for at least 5 minutes until very smooth and creamy.
Add the icing sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
Then add the Greek yogurt and keep beating for 2-3 minutes more.
Then add the whipping cream in slowly. Keep beating for a couple of minutes until it thickens. You should be able to see the traces of the whisk on the cream clearly. In other words, it should look like a real thick whipped cream.
Remove the pan from the fridge and add the cream on top of the base. Spread it evenly and smoothen it with a spoon.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours or ideally overnight.
For The Topping:
Cut the strawberries into thin slices about ½ cm thick (¼ inch). Decorate the cake with the strawberry slices starting from the center and moving circularly.
Cut and serve into 10 pieces. Drizzle lightly each piece with some of the syrup on top and enjoy!
