Preparation

Medium

For the crust, mix the crumbled cookies with the butter, place on a cake base, and press to compact. Set aside. For the cheesecake, beat the cream cheese with sour cream, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie crust and bake for 1 hour at 180 °C. Let cool and set aside. For the strawberry topping, in a small pot over medium heat, cook the strawberries with sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest until it has a jam-like consistency. Remove the cinnamon sticks and add the sour cream. Blend, add the gelatin in a stream, and then pour this mixture over the cheesecake. Refrigerate until set. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream, add the dark chocolate until it melts, then remove from heat. Unmold the cheesecake and, using a spoon, add the ganache, decorate with strawberries and chocolate shavings. Decorate with strawberries and chocolate shavings.
