Method

  1. Step 1:

    Start with your no-bake Oreo cheesecake. Begin by preparing a 9” circular springform tin with baking paper.

  2. Step 2:

    In a food processor or a using a freezer bag and rolling pin, crush up the Oreos to a fine crumb. Mix in a bowl with the melted butter and pour into the tin, pressing down firmly. A top tip is to use a potato masher to apply the right pressure.

  3. Step 3:

    Place the tin into the fridge to chill whilst you make the filling.

  4. Step 4:

    In a clean mixing bowl, whip together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract.

  5. Step 5:

    Reduce the speed of the mixer and add in the whipping cream. Increase the speed once again, beating the mixture to a soft peak consistency.

  6. Step 6:

    Gently fold in the Oreo crumbs. Remove the tin from the fridge and spoon in the filling, using a spatula to smooth the top.

  7. Step 7:

    Place the mixture back in the fridge to set for 4 hours or overnight.

  8. Step 8:

    Before serving, chop the remaining Oreos finely and sprinkle on the top to decorate.

    The day before making the cheesecake, wash, hull and chop the strawberries and place them in a bowl. Cover in Prosecco and leave to marinate overnight.

  12. Step 12:

    Place the tin into the fridge to chill whilst you make the filling.

  13. Step 13:

  14. Step 14:

    In a clean mixing bowl, whip together the cream cheese, icing sugar, pureed strawberries and vanilla extract.

  15. Step 15:

    Reduce the speed of the mixer and add in the whipping cream. Increase the speed once again, beating the mixture to a soft peak consistency.

  17. Step 17:

    Place the mixture back in the fridge to set overnight.

  18. Step 18:

    To decorate, slice the remaining Prosecco soaked strawberries and crush the mini meringues into chunks. Place them on top of the cheesecake along with some fresh raspberries in a circular pattern. 

  19. Step 19:

    For the vanilla cheesecake. Begin by lightly greasing a 7" springform circular tin and line with greaseproof paper.

  20. Step 20:

    Crush the digestive biscuits in a food processor or in a freezer bag with a rolling pin, the pour into a large bowl. Melt the butter, then add to the bowl and mix together. 

  21. Step 21:

    In a large bowl beat together the vanilla bean paste, icing sugar and cream cheese until fully combined.

  23. Step 23:

    Pour in the whipping cream and beat the mixture to a soft peak. 

  24. Step 24:

    Remove the tin from the fridge and pour over the filling, smoothing the top down with a palette knife. Place the cheesecake back into the fridge to firm up and set, preferably overnight.
