130 g Butter, unsalted
1 teaspoon Sugar, white

Cream

530 g Cheese, creamy
260 g Milk, whole milk
260 g Egg, egg yolk, fresh
260 g Sugar, white
50 g Koruzni škrob
1 piece Vanilla, extract, natural

Steps

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the oven rack in the middle position. Line the bottom of a round baking pan (25 cm in diameter) with parchment paper.
Melt the butter slowly in a saucepan over low heat. Finely grind the biscuits in a food processor. Add the melted butter and sugar, and mix well until the biscuits and butter combine into a uniform mixture.
Spread the biscuit mixture evenly over the bottom of the baking pan and press it firmly with your palm. Bake the biscuit base in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.
Soak the gelatin. In a kitchen mixer, thoroughly mix the cream cheese, milk, egg yolks, sugar, starch, and vanilla pod. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook over low heat while stirring constantly for 5-8 minutes or until the starch is cooked.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and take out the vanilla pod. Add the soaked gelatin and mix everything together with a hand mixer. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it cool thoroughly.
Once cooled, mix the mixture again to remove any lumps. Slowly fold in the whipped cream. Pour the cream onto the cooled biscuit base and smooth the top. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator.
For the strawberry jelly, soak four sheets of gelatin in cold water. Bring the strawberries and sugar to a boil, then blend with a hand mixer and add the soaked gelatin. Mix the mixture well and pour it over the cooled cream. Place the cheesecake back in the refrigerator and chill it well before serving.
