Ingredients
Method
Prepare Cheesecake Filling
- Beat the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Form small portions on a tray and freeze until firm (1-2 hours).
Make Strawberry Jam
- In a saucepan, add the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens like jam. Allow to cool.
Prepare Biscotti Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour and baking powder. Fold in the cooled strawberry jam.
Form Biscuits
- Take a tablespoon of dough, flatten it, insert a frozen cheesecake portion, wrap the dough around it, seal it, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Let cool slightly; the cheesecake center will firm up as they rest.
Notes
Serve family-style with coffee or tea, and consider adding a side of whipped cream. For best freshness, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
