Instructions

Prepare the strawberry jelly per the package instructions, reducing the water by 50 ml. Pour into a bowl and let it cool.
Rinse, dry, hull, and halve the strawberries.
Line the base of a 26 cm springform pan with parchment paper. Mix the crushed crackers with melted butter, then pack them at the bottom of the springform using a spoon.
Warm the milk and dissolve the gelatin in it, stirring continuously.
In a large bowl, mix twaróg, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar until well combined.
Gradually add the warm gelatin mixture to the cheese mixture, and mix thoroughly for a smooth consistency.
Gently fold in 2/3 of the halved strawberries to the cheese mixture. Pour it over the biscuit base and smooth the top. Chill for 30 minutes.
Arrange the remaining strawberries on top of the cheesecake. Pour the cooled jelly over the strawberries and chill until fully set, approximately 3 hours.

Notes

Ensure the twaróg is well-drained to achieve the best texture.
Let the cheesecake chill fully for optimal flavor and firmness.
