Tips and tricks for a perfect Strawberry Cheesecake:
Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy whipping cream for a richer taste.
Use softened, room temperature cream cheese, it will be easier to beat it smooth and without any lumps.
Very cold heavy whipping cream is the key for getting stiff peaks.
Do not overbeat the filling. Overbeating lets a lot of air into the filling, the cheesecake loses its smooth texture and is filled with air holes.
Always choose ripe, firm strawberries to get the best taste.
Make sure the cake is cooled long enough, possibly for 12 hours, so that cheesecake can set.
Prepare strawberries for the topping before serving, so that they can stay fresh and juicy and then decorate the cake with whipped topping.
How to store it?
In the fridge, for up to 3 days.
Can it be frozen?
Yes, for up to a month. Thaw it in the fridge overnight.
