Recipe: Cheesecake with Verival Crunchy and strawberries

Most of us know the typical American cheesecake from scenes in love movies. In our region it is more commonly known as curd cake. The bottom of the curd cake is mostly made of shortcrust, whereas the classic cheesecake consists of a mixture of biscuit and butter. The cheesecake Lena created for us has a delicious crunchy base. 

The filling of the cake consists mainly of cream cheese and curd. This creamy layer goes perfectly with the crispy chocolate crunchy base and is perfectly rounded off by the strawberry topping. A chocolaty, crunchy, creamy and fruity dessert, what more could you want? Have fun baking!
