Instructions

Prepare the strawberry jelly according to the package instructions, reducing the water by 50 ml. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool.
Rinse and dry the strawberries, hull, and halve them.
Line the bottom of a 26 cm springform pan with parchment paper. Mix the crushed crackers with butter, then press this mixture into the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
Heat the milk until warm and dissolve the gelatin in it, stirring continuously until well mixed.
In a large bowl, mix together the twaróg, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar until smooth and combined.
Gradually mix the warm gelatin mixture into the cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold in 2/3 of the halved strawberries into the cheese mixture gently. Pour this mixture over the biscuit base and smooth the top. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Arrange the remaining halved strawberries on top of the cheesecake, then pour the cooled jelly over them. Chill until set, about 3 hours.

Notes

Ensure the twaróg cheese is well-drained for the best texture in the cheesecake.
Chilling times may vary; make sure the cheesecake is fully set before serving.
Feel free to substitute other fruits for a different flavor.
