Strawberry Basil Cheesecake Glasses

No-bake cheesecake glasses with lemon cream, biscuit crumbs and basil-scented strawberries.

Ingredients

• 100 g digestive biscuits
• 35 g melted butter
• 250 g full-fat cream cheese
• 120 ml double cream
• 55 g icing sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 250 g strawberries, hulled and diced
• 1 tbsp finely sliced basil

Method

1. Crush the biscuits and mix with the butter. Divide between four glasses and press down lightly.
2. Beat the cream cheese with 40 g of the icing sugar and the lemon juice. Whisk the cream until softly thickened and fold it in.
3. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the crumbs and chill for 1 hour.
4. Toss the strawberries with the remaining icing sugar and basil, then spoon over the chilled cheesecakes.

Add the strawberries shortly before serving so their juices stay on top.
