The irresistible strawberry dream cheesecake with meringue combines the creaminess of a classic cheesecake with the freshness of strawberries and a light meringues topping.

The soft almond base forms the perfect foundation for the rich cheesecake filling, which is enhanced with vanilla. The raspberry coulis adds a fruity note to the cake, wonderfully balanced by the slightly acidity of the fruits.

To prepare the cake, first, bake and cool the base made of eggs whites and almonds. The cheesecake filling is smoothly mixed from cooked fruits, eggs, and cream cheese, and then poured over the base. The cake must then cool completely to set. I use plant-based agar agar to ensure the cake sets properly.

The fruity rapsberry coulis is made from pureed raspberriesm cooked and thickened with starch. This mixture should also be well cooled.

Shortly before serving, the meringue is prepared. For this, egg whites are beaten stiff with a pinch of salt, and hot sugar syrup is slowly added until the mixture becomes glossy and forms stable peaks.

The cake is then decorated with the meringue. Freeze-dried raspberries are used for decoration. Please prepare the base, the cream, and the coulis the day before so they can cool and set completely. Finish the meringue just before serving. The cake tastes excellent even without the meringue, but it adds an extra touch of sophistication. The hot sugar syrup pasteurizes the meringue, making it safe to eat.

The strawberry dream cheesecake with meringue is not only a visual highlight but also a culinary delight. It is perfect for celebrations or as the crowning finish to a menu. I made it for my sister’s birthday, and the other caked on the coffee table couldn’t compete with it.
