Ingredients

Crust:

  • 250 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 150 g butter melted

Filling:

  • 500 g cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar caster sugar
  • Zest from 2 lemons
  • ¾ cup yogurt Greek yogurt preferred
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 250 g strawberries tops removed and cut in halves

Other ingredients:

  • Fresh strawberries to decorate (optional)
  • Lemon slices to decorate (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 160 C or 320 F. Grease and line a 20 x 6.5 cm spring-form cake tin.
  • Place biscuits in the bowl of a food processor, and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add butter. Process until combined. Using the back of a spoon or glass, press the mixture into the base of the cake tin. Chill for 30 minutes or until needed.
  • To make the filling or cream cheese layer, place cream cheese, sugar and lemon zest in a bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in yogurt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat in lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Arrange strawberries in a single layer over the biscuit base. Pour the cream cheese cheese mixture over strawberries, tap gently to remove air bubbles, and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until light golden and just set.
  • Turn the oven off, and allow to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until cold.
  • Top with strawberries and lemon slices, if desired.
