Instructions
Step 1
Begin by crushing the biscuits into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place the biscuits in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. This mixture will form the base of your dessert.
Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of a tart pan or individual dessert cups. Ensure that the base is compact and even for the best texture.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will be the delightful filling for your dessert.
In a small saucepan, heat water and dissolve the gelatin powder, stirring for about 1-2 minutes until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the creamy mixture.
Next, fold in the strawberry purée into the cream cheese mixture gently until no streaks remain. This gives your filling a luscious strawberry flavor.
Step 3
Carefully spoon the strawberry filling over the prepared biscuit base, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula for a polished look.
Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least 4 hours, or until set. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and ensures a firm texture.
Step 4
Once the dessert has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Top with sliced fresh strawberries and a few mint leaves for a refreshing finish.
Serve chilled and watch as everyone delights in the light, airy taste of your summer dessert creation!
Servings

Don't forget to serve with a dollop of whipped cream for that extra touch of indulgence! 😍 To make it festive, consider pairing these treats with colorful plates or fun, themed decorations.
If you want to create a memorable experience, try serving them with a scoop of sorbet or a refreshing fruit salad alongside the dessert. The contrast of textures and flavors will leave your guests wanting more!
Equipment
A good-sized mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients smoothly. For the best results, use a bowl that makes it easy to whisk without splattering.



Using an electric mixer will save you time and energy when whipping up the ingredients until light and fluffy. Don't forget to check if it has different speed settings to ensure a perfect blend!



A silicone spatula is fantastic for scraping down the sides of the bowl and ensuring you don’t waste any delicious mixture. It's also heat-safe if you're working with warm ingredients!



Choose aesthetically pleasing dishes to showcase your beautiful desserts. Clear glass bowls or elegant plates can elevate the presentation of your sweet creations.
Variations
If you're looking for gluten-free and vegan options, you're in luck! 🌱 To make this dessert gluten-free, simply substitute regular flour with almond or coconut flour; these alternatives will maintain the delightful texture while making it suitable for gluten-sensitive eaters.
For those wanting a vegan twist, use plant-based cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese and substitute eggs with a flaxseed mixture. 🌼 Combining these ingredients will still yield a light and airy dessert that everyone will love, while keeping it cruelty-free!
