Preparation:
  • In a large bowl (or use blender) crumble the digestive biscuits to fine powder; add melted butter in to it and mix well.
  • Grease a spring form cake tin with butter.
  • Add the biscuit mix in to baking pan and press firmly.
  • Keep it in fridge until the filling gets ready.
  • Beat whip cream in a chilled bowl until smooth and stiff. 
  • In another bowl; Beat cream cheese and sugar  until creamy and fluffy.
  • Fold it with the whip cream.
  • Heat lemon juice and strawberry puree in a pan along with 2 tbsp of water.
  • Switch off the flame before boiling; add gelatin in to it and mix well. Allow to cool the mixture completely (must cools down before adding to cream mix).
  • Add it in to the cream mix and fold once again.
