Instructions
Heat the oven to 175°C on the top and bottom heat setting.
Crush the digestive biscuits. Mix them with the butter and brown sugar and press the mixture into a baking tin approximately 20 cm in diameter with a removable base. Bake in the centre of the oven for about 10 minutes. Leave to cool.
Beat all the ingredients for the filling until smooth, except the cream. Add the cream and beat lightly. Spread the mixture on the digestive biscuit base and put the tin in the fridge.
Prepare the compote. Simmer the pieces of rhubarb and strawberries until they are soft. Add the icing sugar and simmer for about 4 minutes. Remove from the hob and beat until smooth. Pour the compote over the cheesecake and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
