20 cm (8in) springform cake tin
For the base :

Method:
- Place the biscuits and butter in a bowl, mix well and press into the base of the tin. Chill whilst you make the filling.
- For the filling, place the strawberries, 2 tbsp of the caster sugar and 2 tbsp water in a saucepan and cook on a moderate until the strawberries are very soft. Puree the mixture in a blender and push through a fine sieve back into the saucepan that you cooked them in. Warm the strawberry puree again and when hot, squeeze the excess water from the gelatin leaves and add to the strawberry puree. Swirl the pan to make sure that the gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside

- For the top layer, place the strawberries, 2 tbsp of the caster sugar and 2 tbsp water in a saucepan and cook on a moderate until the strawberries soft but not too lumpy. Squeeze the excess water from the gelatin leaves and add to the strawberry mixture. Swirl the pan to make sure that the gelatin is completely dissolved but must slowly because make sure all the sliced strawberries look good.
- Take out the pan from fridge and slowly put on sliced strawberries around the cheesecake and the last pour over the remaining mixture on top. Chill for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve the cheesecake, run a round bladed knife around the outside of the tin and release the tin. Transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Slice with a clean and warm knife to get the perfect of every slice cheesecake.
