Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 23cm springform cake tin with greaseproof paper.
  • Crush all biscuits in a bag with a rolling pin until they resemble breadcrumbs.
  • Combine the biscuit crumbs with honey and melted butter in a mixing bowl.
  • Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of the tin.
  • Bake the base for 10-12 minutes and then leave to cool.
  • Soak the gelatine leaves in ice-cold water for 10 minutes.
  • Simmer milk, cocoa powder, and sugar in a saucepan until combined.
  • Remove the mixture from heat, let cool slightly, and whisk in the gelatine.
  • Beat the quark and yoghurt together in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract, vanilla seeds, and the cooled cocoa mixture.
  • Whisk egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the cheesecake mixture.
  • Spoon the mixture onto the base and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours to set.
  • Decorate with fresh strawberries before serving.
