Line the bottom of a 20cm springform pan with parchment paper and set aside
Place the tennis biscuits in a food processor and pulse until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined
In a large bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, add the sour cream and yogurt and mix until combined. Add the agar agar and ground freeze dried strawberries and mix until combined
Press the tennis biscuits into the lined pan, use the back of a measuring cup to smooth it out
Add half the cheesecake mixture into the pan. Place the strawberry whirls on the sides of the pan, the pretty side stuck to the walls of the pan. Pour the remaining mixture into pan.
Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight
Serve cold. You can top up with more strawberries when serving
- Although I used the Danone Double Cream Strawberry Cheesecake flavoured yogurt you can use any strawberry double cream yogurt or low fat if you prefer
- You can replace the agar agar with gelatin
- The sugar can be increased to 1/3 cup if you prefer a sweeter cheesecake
- Freeze dried strawberries can be found in most major supermarkets
- If you don't have strawberry whirls this cheesecake is great on it's own too
