Ingredients

Ingredients for the Shortbread Base:-

  • 150 g butter
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 225 g plain flour
  • A miniature of blended malt whisky or 5 tbsp. from a bottle.

Ingredients for the filling:-

  • 400 g strawberries
  • 250 g cream cheese
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 300 ml double cream

Instructions

Method for the Shortbread base:-

  • Preheat oven to 160C.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together either by hand or by using a mixer.
  • Gradually add in the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then knead the breadcrumb mixture into a smooth soft dough.
  • Roll the dough into a sausage shape, wrap it in cling film and store it in the fridge until hard.
  • Slice the dough into 1cm slices, place on a baking tray and cook for 30 minutes until golden brown, remove and allow to cool, then put the shortbread into a bag and crush it up into biscuit crumbs.
  • Mix the crumbs with 2 tbsp. of whisky and mould into the bottom of a greased cheesecake tin and place in the fridge for 1 hour.

Method for the filling:-

  • Keep 2 – 3 of the strawberries for decorating, but otherwise cut the rest of the strawberries into quarters.
  • Mix the cream cheese and sugar together either by hand or by using a mixer.
  • In a separate bowl beat the cream together with the remaining whisky until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
  • Gradually fold the cream cheese and sugar mixture into the cream until well combined, and then fold in the quartered strawberries.
  • Spoon the mixture on top of the biscuit base and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours if you can’t wait that long!
  • Before serving remove from the fridge and decorate with the remaining strawberries.
