- 200–250 g crushed biscuits (digestive or graham crackers)
- 100 g melted butter
Cream layer
- 200 g cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup whipped cream (or 200 ml whipping cream, whipped)

👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the base
- Crush biscuits into fine crumbs.
- Mix with melted butter until it looks like wet sand.
- Press firmly into a serving dish (8×8 inch or similar).
- Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to set.
2. Make the cream layer
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla essence; mix well.
- Gently fold in whipped cream until fluffy and smooth.
- Spread this layer evenly over the chilled biscuit base.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Prepare strawberry layer
- Chop strawberries into small pieces.
- Mix with sugar and lemon juice.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes so it releases natural juice.
4. Assemble
- Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the cream layer.
- Smooth the top gently.
5. Final chill
- Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight is best for clean slices).
🍰 Serving Tips
- Cut into neat squares before serving.
- Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries for presentation.
- Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
⭐ Pro Tips
- Use cold whipping cream for better volume.
- Don’t overmix the cream layer—keep it airy.
- For a firmer set, you can add a small amount of dissolved gelatin, but it’s optional.
If you want, I can also give you a no-gelatin version, a biscuit-free version, or a restaurant-style presentation version.
