You will need
800 g strawberries, washed, hulled and cut into halves lengthways. Reserve some of the best halves for a garnish

Method
Reserve about 1 cup of the best strawberry halves to garnish. Liquidise the remaining berries until smooth. Add the strawberry jam, water and Cheesecake Mix and wizz it all together to form a smooth mixture.
Whip the cream until firm and fold into the strawberry mixture. Add a few drops of red food colouring if you want to emphasise the strawberry.
