Method
1. Crush the biscuits using a rolling pin and a sandwich bag until they resemble fine, sand-like crumbs. Then combine with melted butter.
2. Press the mixture into a loose-bottom round tin lined with parchment paper and refrigerate.
3. To make the filling, in a large bowl whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the double cream until soft peaks form and then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture. Then fold in the freeze dried strawberry pieces.
4. Add the mixture to the biscuit base and spread evenly using a spatula. Place the tin back into the fridge and chill for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Make the strawberry sauce by blending together the strawberries, icing sugar and lemon juice.
6. Once the cheesecake is set, spread over the strawberry sauce and cover with the remaining strawberries and crushed meringue.
Then, slice and enjoy
