This recipe for a frozen strawberry cheesecake is another one adapted for thermal machines from the September Coles Magazine. I kept looking at the picture in the mag of these lovely iceblocks, but knew we didn’t have the right molds to make them. Then I had a brainwave, this would work perfectly as a large cheesecake, using the awesome Delicake Rectangle Master.
It did work as well as I hoped and was really yummy. Despite the large size it disappeared very quickly. Hope you enjoy making it.
Ingredients
- 200g packet butternut snap biscuits
- 90g butter
- 500g strawberries

- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tsp of vanilla bean paste

- Grease and line a springform pan or lightly spray your Delicake Master with oil.

- Add 200g biscuits, chop for 20 sec, speed 5.
- Scrape down the sides and chop for 20 sec, speed 6.
- Press biscuit mixture into the pan to make a smooth base. Pop in the freezer.
- Wipe out the jug with paper towel.
- Remove stalks from strawberries then add to jug and chop for 7 sec, speed 5.

- Cook at 80⁰C for 4 min, speed 2. Then blend for 30 sec, speed 5.

- Add cream cheese, yoghurt, cream, milk and vanilla to remaining strawberry mixture in jug.

- Pour on top of base and return to freezer.
- After 1 hour, smooth strawberry sauce over the top and return to the freezer for 6 hours.
- Allow to soften for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- You can also use all vanilla yoghurt instead of cream and natural yoghurt.
- Cream cheese will blend easier if it’s close to room temperature.
