1. Place a 23cm / 9” spring form tin on a serving plate.

3. Pour in the melted butter and mix well. Press into the tin. Allow to chill.
4. Meanwhile, break up the jelly and place in a bowl, add the water and slowly melt over a low heat. Allow to cool.
5. Put the cream cheese and Strawberry Jam into a large bowl and beat well.
6. Add the cream and beat until still quite loose in consistency.
7. Finally, fold in the melted jelly until in a semi whipped state. Pour onto the biscuit base.

10. If liked, whipped cream can be piped around the edge of the cheesecake! Enjoy!
