Buttery biscuit Base, white chocolate cheesecake with strawberry filling, whipped cream, more chocolate, and even more strawberry! The most amazing white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake!
White chocolate and strawberry cheesecake
White chocolate cheesecake is such a delicious flavour for me, but I love it with some fruit in as well. White chocolate and strawberry cheesecake however is such a delicious combination to me that I just had to make it for you guys!
I used cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla, cream, chocolate and strawberries to make one of my most favourite cheesecake fillings EVER. Using digestives for my buttery biscuit base is also just my favourite ever… but you can realistically use whatever biscuit you like.
No bake recipes
Using a no-bake recipe means you can obviously still create this delicious recipe without an oven or if you want to make it ahead of time it is super quick and easy! My other no bake fruity cheesecakes include lemon and raspberry and a delicious piña colada version! If you fancy something more chocolate themed, I have Kitkat, Galaxy and chocolate overload which is any chocolate lovers heaven!
Base
Anyway… cheesecake base! As above, I used digestives for my white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake base as they are my favourite! If you want to use a ‘filled biscuit’ on the bottom like Oreos, you need to reduce the butter content to 100g (still 300g of biscuits). If you wanted to use a chocolate coated biscuit, like a chocolate digestive, then you want to use 125g of butter.
Filling
You can use mascarpone for the filling if you want instead of Philadelphia, but I find with this particular recipe, it becomes too sweet with mascarpone because of the white chocolate.
This recipe is delightfully light and utterly delicious, the cheesecake mixture is so fluffy and full of flavour, and it matches the fresh and dried strawberries PERFECTLY! I always believe cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any occasion, whether it is baked or not!
Decoration
You can decorate (or not decorate if you fancy!) however you like. I personally like some swirls of fresh cream, a drizzle of white chocolate and more strawberry goodness! I love the combination of fresh strawberries with cold cheesecake filling – delicious!
You can add some sprinkles if you wish but I just fancied throwing on some more freeze dried strawberries. I add a generous amount of white chocolate drizzle on the top as it creates a nice balance with the strawberries both inside and on top of the cheesecake. ENJOY!
Recipe Updated June 2017 – Original method for this recipe didn’t use strawberries on the inside and had less decoration!
White Chocolate and Strawberry Cheesecake
Ingredients
Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter melted
Filling
- 560 g full fat cream cheese
- 125 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300 ml double cream
- 300 g white chocolate melted
- 300 g fresh strawberries chopped
- Freeze dried strawberries
Decoration
- 50 g white chocolate melted
- 150 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- Freeze dried strawberries
- White chocolate strawberries
Instructions
Base
- Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a small crumb, and add the melted butter - either pulse in the food processor a few times till the mixture is combined, or mix it in a bowl
- Tip the biscuits into a 8"/20cm deep springform tin and press down firmly
Cheesecake
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave on short bursts until full melted
- Leave to cool whilst doing the rest
- In your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla together until smooth
- Pour in the double cream and whisk until thick!
- Once completed, pour in the cooled white chocolate, and whisk briefly to combine
- Fold through the chopped fresh strawberries and some freeze dried strawberries
- Spread the mix over the biscuit base, smooth over and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight so it will definitely be set
Decoration
- Drizzle over the melted white chocolate
- Whip together the double cream and icing sugar and then pipe on in swirls! I used a 2D Closed Star Piping.
- I then add some fresh strawberries to the top (6 usually) and sprinkle on some white chocolate sprinkles and the freeze dried strawberries
- ENJOY!
Notes
- I recommend using a 8"/20cm deep springform tin in this recipe!
- You could easily serve this cheesecake with practically any fruit you like, but I find strawberries work exceptionally well
- I buy my freeze dried strawberries online here
ENJOY!

Hi Jane. Not sure if this has been asked before, I’m sorry if it has. But would the same quantity of ingredients work for a 9 or a 10 inch tin. And could I add a drop of pink food colouring to make the mixture more pink or would that affect the consistency?
In my opinion, no it wouldn’t. The cheesecake would be SO thin! Volume wise, a 9″ is almost a third bigger, and a 10″ is almost 2/3 bigger! You can add colours for sure. x
Thanks Jane. So would you recommend 1/3 of the entire recipe or a 9 inch tin?
Yes, for a 9″ tin I would use about 1.3x the recipe x
Thanks so much Jane. Im so Sorry this is my last question i promise.. just realised now that all I have is salted butter. Would that work with the biscuits base?
Yeah that would be fine!
Hi, I’m just about to make this for my daughters 21st, being November no fresh strawberries are to be found. I have frozen strawberries, would it be best to half the amount to go in the cheesecake so not to be soggy? Thanks
Yes I would say half!
How did it go with the frozen strawberries?
Hi, I. Step 4 you say ‘and then fold through the chopped fresh strawberries and freeze dried strawberries.’, but I can’t see freeze dried strawberries in the ingredients for the actual mix? Would freeze dried strawberries be good instead of the fresh fruit, to keep the mixture dryer? Or a combination of both – or not at all? Many thanks x
Hello I have question about amount of white chocolate used, in your video you say 200g and in the recipe below video says 300g… Which one is it x thank you
You can use either – I change it up slightly every time I make it, but anything between 200-300g is perfect x
Where can I buy freeze dried strawberries pls
struggling to find them. Don’t have waitrose. Only tesco, small asda and lakeland. Pks advise
Lakeland would be the best out of those, or online – but they’re only for decor!
Hiya do you think instead of strawberry’s you could use jam ?
Maybe a silly question 😂❤️
You can – but I would be careful swirling it in as it could loosen the cheesecake mix! x
Hi can you advise how I can adapt this amazing recipe to a 6” Tin please. It’s only for 2 people so I find the original amazing recipe too large. Thank you
Hey! I would use about half – completely understand it’s huge for two hahah!
What an amazing cheesecake!
Made this for my sons 20th birthday during lockdown. His face when he saw it! Thank you what a great recipe.
Ahh yay! So glad it was a hit!
Hi Jane, does it have to be Philadelphia or can you use supermarket own full fat cream cheese? Also can I use less strawberries in the mix or do I need to substitute for something else? Thank you
Generally, I find Philadelphia can often work better which is why I recommend it, as some others can have a lot more excess water which can be troublesome. Yes you can definitely use less strawberries, and they don’t need replacing with anything!
Hi Jane I’m trying to find just a strawberry cheesecake recipe but I only like doing your recipes as everything I’ve ever made has been spot on! Do you think I could use this recipe but without the white chocolate? Just looking to do a simple Strasberg cheesecake as that’s what I’ve been asked to do for someone. Thank you x
I meant strawberry cheesecake x
If you have a look at my Eton Mess Cheesecake, that’s basically a strawberry one just leave the meringues off! x
Made this recipe twice. Really easy and went down a treat🥰
Hi Jane, made this for my sons 16th birthday. He is mad on cheesecake and wanted something different for his birthday. Never made such a lavish cheesecake before but omg what a success this was. So easy to make and tasted absolutely amazing. Will definitely be trying others in the future.
Ahh, that’s amazing!! I’m so glad it was such a hit, and happy 16th Birthday to your son!!
