Instructions

Prepare the strawberry jelly according to package instructions, reducing 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 crushed crackers with melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan.
Heat the milk until warm, then dissolve the gelatin in it while stirring continuously.
In a large bowl, combine twaróg, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar, mixing well.
Gradually add the warm gelatin mixture to the cheese mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Gently fold in 2/3 of the halved strawberries into the cheese mixture. Pour this mixture over the biscuit base and smooth the top. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Arrange the remaining strawberries on top of the cheesecake, then pour the cooled jelly over the strawberries. Chill until completely set, about 3 hours.

Notes

Ensure the quark cheese is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the cheesecake.
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
Consider using a mixer for a smoother cheese and cream mixture.
