Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- Spread cheesecake filling evenly into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Arrange sliced strawberries over the filling.
- Warm strawberry jam slightly and brush over strawberries for a glossy finish.
- Roll out white fondant (or melted and shaped white chocolate) to create a Miffy face topper. Use melted dark chocolate to draw eyes and mouth.
