  • In a bowl, mix together the crust ingredients well. Pour the crust mixture into a parchment paper lined 6-7 inch round cheesecake spring pan. Pat down the crust mixture evenly using a small glass jar.

  • Blend on low for 30 seconds, then blend on high for around 2 minutes or until a creamy smooth consistency forms. Pour the strawberry cheesecake filling over the chocolate crust and then place the pan in the freezer. Freeze for 3 hours.
  • Take the cheesecake out of the freezer and carefully unlock the spring pan to get the cheesecake out. Place the cheesecake in the fridge for a couple hours to thaw.
  • In a bowl, beat together the frosting ingredients together using a hand mixer until a thick fluffy consistency forms.
  • When ready to serve the cheesecake, drizzle some melted chocolate over top and pipe the chocolate frosting around the edges.
  • Add some fresh strawberries on top and enjoy!
