In a food processor, crush your digestive biscuits and then stir in your melted butter, or pulse (you can easily use a strong plastic bag and a rolling pin to smash those digestives too)
Next press the biscuit and butter mix into the bottom of your 20cm/ 8 inch loose bottomed tin, using the back of a teaspoon to smooth over, pop in the fridge
Next take your halved strawberries and carefully place a full circle of these around the tin, cut side facing outwards - pop back in the fridge
Next put the soft cheese into a mixing bowl and use an electric whisk to whisk until fluffy, or a stand mixer
Then add the icing sugar and gently whisk until smooth then add the vanilla bean paste
Pour the cream in and whisk until the mix is very thick. Remove your biscuit base from the fridge, using a spoon carefully fill the tin with HALF the cream cheese mix making sure your strawberries stay in place
Add a layer of chopped strawberries, then add the remaining half of the cheesecake mix on top, make sure you push the mix into the strawberry at the side - you do not want any holes or gaps
Smooth over the top with a spoon and pop in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours to set (overnight is best)
When you are ready to serve, remove the cheese cake from the fridge, release the spring and remove the tin
Decorate with strawberries and serve!
