To do:

1) Crush biscuits into fine bread crumbs, mix in brown sugar and toasted almond together and mix in melted butter to combine.

2) Press this biscuits mixer into a 8"x8" round loose bottom pan, firmly.

(I am using a square tray. I lay a piece of aluminium foil on the bottom of the tray, leaving about 1 1/2' of the foil over hang the side of the tray for easy removing later.)

3) Melt cooking chocolate and add in milk, sitr well. Pour onto the ready prepared biscuits base and spread evenly.

4) Lay the ready sponge cake on top of the cooking chocolate. Put in fridge to set while preparing for the cheese filling.

Strawberry cheese filling ingredients:

500g cream cheese

140g castor sugar

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 1/2 tbsp + 1 tsp gelatine powder dissolve in 100ml water

( I double-boil it to have a smooth texture)

300g strawberry puree

8 strawberries for garnishing at the side of the cake

400ml thicken cream

      ~Halves the strawberries and arrange it at the side of the tray before spooning in the cheese filling ~
