Strawberry Cheesecake

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups oatmeal cookies, crushed
• 9 sheets gelatin or 3 tbsp powdered gelatin, bloomed in cold water
• 1 1/4 lb strawberries, 1/4 lb pureed, 1 left whole, remainder sliced
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar + 4 tsp
• 1 1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
• 1 lb cream cheese
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 tbsp apricot jam

1. Grease a 10 inch springform pan. Combine butter and cookie crumbs then transfer to the prepared pan and press down firmly to form a crust. Chill for 30 mins.
2. For the strawberry jam, squeeze out any excess water water out of the sheet gelatin (if using). Gently heat 1 tbsp strawberry puree with 1 sheet of gelatin (or around 1 tbsp) until gelatin melts. Combine with remaining puree. Add 4 tsp sugar. Chill for 15 mins.
3. Mix cream, cream cheese, vanilla extract, coconut milk and 1/3 cup sugar. Squeeze out any excess water from remaining gelatin then gently heat with 2 tbsp cream mixture until gelatin melts then stir into the main cream mixture. Transfer 1/2 to prepared pan then drizzle with 1/2 of the puree and swirl with a fork. Repeat with the remaining cream mixture and strawberry jam. Chill overnight.
4. Remove the cake from the pan and place on a cake stand. Arrange strawberry slices over top. Heat apricot jam and 1-2 tbsp water in a saucepan. Brush over the strawberries. Place the whole strawberry in the center.
