Ahaha.. you guys are funny!
Here's the recipe as requested. Please note that this is a low-fat version. If you want it more sinful, omit the yoghurt and increase the cream cheese to 250g.
Filling :
8 to 10 Strawberries (depending on size), sliced into half
100g Cream Cheese, bring to room temperature
100g Yoghurt (Paul's set yoghurt)
70g Fine Sugar*
1 Tbsp + 1/2 Tsp Gelatin
3 Tbsp Boiling Water
*make sure the gelatin is melted and kept warm
200g Strawberry Puree**
200ml Non Dairy Whip Cream, whipped to mousse state and chilled (can use dairy whip cream)
Topping : (Optional)
Some strawberry slices
1 Packet of Tortally Jelly (Strawberry flavour), use as per instruction but you won't be using all
Method
1) Prepare a 7 inch loose base round tin. Mix the crushed biscuits and butter in a bowl. Transfer to the cake tin, using a small spoon to press the base evenly. Chill in the fridge for later use.
2) Arrange the halved strawberries against the tin. In a mixing bowl, using a electric whisk, whisk cream cheese, yoghurt and sugar till mixture is creamy and no lumps. Pour in the gelatin mixture, using a hand whisk to incorporate well. Add in strawberry puree and whipped cream, stir well.
3) Pour into the prepared cake tin, using a spatula to level the surface. Set the cake before decorating with strawberry slices and jelly. Leave to chill for at least 3 hours. Remove from tin.
*Note : As the strawberries were rather tart, I adjusted the amount of sugar accordingly.
**Note : To make strawberry puree, simply take 320g of fresh strawberries, blend well and sieve.

I definitely need to make it more sinful.
And thank you for the recipe!! It looks a lot easier than I thought it would be. Only thing is, I'm not sure what Tortally Jelly (Strawberry flavour) is. And I don't have Digestive Biscuits here either, which is a shame because those things are delish! I guess I'll have to go with graham crackers or some other type of cookie for the crust. _________________

Strawberry jam/jelly, I'd guess.

Hi, yes you can use graham crackers instead or even oreo cookies (minus the cream, ermm.. you can lick it off if preferred )
As for the jelly, it's just a brand name for Jello here in Singapore. You can just use any brand of Jello available.

Are there Indigestive Biscuits?
Hey, don't make fun of the Digestives. The chocolate covered ones are one of the best cookies that I've ever eaten.

Cool, so I'll lick the cream off the Oreos and use just the cookie. I'm sure other people will love to know how I got the cream off.
But I'd probably use some graham crackers or non-chocolate cookie because I think that the chocolate might overpower the the taste of the strawberries. I really wish I could find Digestives here though. _________________

Bizarre name.
Never heard of 'em 'til now.
Ah, "chocolate covered ones...."
For you, that's the key: you'd eat a shoe if it were covered with chocolate.
Accoding to Wikipedia, the name "digestive" derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of bicarbonate of soda when they were first developed. I think they're delish, so I don't really care about the odd name.
And I thought the cookie itself was pretty good, the chocolate was just the icing on the cake...er, cookie. And hell no to the chocolate-covered shoe! I'm trying to cut back on sweets. _________________

Were you trying to distract me to keep from revealing the exact location of those Digestives?
