Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake filling
  • 85 g cream cheese Use cold for better mixing
  • 15 g sugar For the cheesecake filling
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract For the cheesecake
  • 50 g fresh strawberries, diced For the filling
  • 15 g sugar To sweeten the strawberries
  • 1 tsp lemon juice To enhance flavor
For the cookie dough
  • 115 g butter, softened
  • 90 g sugar For the cookie dough
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For the cookie dough
  • 130 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Strawberry compote made from the diced strawberries

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
  2. Scoop this mixture into small portions, place on a tray, and freeze until firm (1–2 hours).
  3. In a pot, add the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened and jammy. Let it cool.
  4. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
  5. In a bowl, mix the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla, and mix again.
  6. Stir in the flour and baking powder, then fold in the cooled strawberry compote.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Take a scoop of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a frozen cheesecake filling inside. Wrap the dough around it, seal it, and place on a tray.
  2. Bake for 11–12 minutes, until the edges are set.
  3. Let cookies cool slightly — the cheesecake center will set as they rest.

Notes

Consider serving with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate. Great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Keep in mind to store in an airtight container.
