Cooking Steps

Prepare the base
1
  • Crush the speculaas pieces in a mixing bowl using an immersion blender until you get an almost powdery consistency.
  • Melt the butter in a pot or saucepan, then remove it from the heat and mix in the crushed speculaas.
  • Add the mixture to a 24cm round cake tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to form the base layer.
  • Cool the speculaas base in the fridge until the filling is ready. 
Prepare the filling
2
  • Zest the lemon, then juice it into a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 150°C.
  • Add the cream cheese, eggs, sour cream, and 150g of sugar to a mixing bowl. Combine the ingredients with a handheld mixer on medium speed until just combined, then mix in the lemon zest.
  • Pour the filling into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 50 - 60 minutes until the top is light golden-brown. Once finished, allow to cool in the fridge for 4 hours.
Make the strawberry topping
3
  • In the meantime, halve the strawberries and cut the bigger ones into quarters. Add them to a saucepan along with the lemon juice and the rest of the sugar.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat and continue simmering for 10 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat and allow it to cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Once cooled, spread the strawberry sauce over the cheesecake and serve immediately.
