Ingredients for the base:

180g of Digestive-type biscuits

65g of melted butter

Ingredients for the filling:

750g of cream cheese (at room temperature)

250g of unsweetened natural Greek yogurt

370 g of condensed milk

5 medium eggs

40 g cornstarch

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

For decoration:

Step-by-step preparation:




Step-by-step preparation:

1. Prepare the base:
Crush the cookies until you get a sandy texture. Mix with the melted butter and press the mixture into a 20cm tin lined with parchment paper. Keep in the freezer while you make the filling.

2. Mix the filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the yogurt, condensed milk, and vanilla. Mix well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating lightly after each addition. Finally, add the cornstarch and mix until no lumps remain.

3. Baking:
Pour the mixture over the biscuit base. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 140°C and bake for a further 60–70 minutes. The center should jiggle slightly when you move the pan.

4. Cooling:
Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar. Let the cake cool completely inside the oven. Then, refrigerate it for 5 to 6 hours, ideally overnight.

5. Decoration:
Carefully unmold and cover the surface with strawberry jam to taste just before serving.

Final tip:
This cake is even better the next day. Enjoy it chilled for the perfect texture and irresistible flavor!
