Here's how you do it 

1. Make the rhubarb 

Put rhubarb, sugar and water in a saucepan and cook while stirring until it becomes a compote. Gradually reduce the heat. Leave the mixture to cool.

2. Prepare the base 

Finely chop nuts and chocolate in a mini chopper.

3. Whisk the meringue 

Whisk egg whites until stiff, then gradually whisk in the sugar a little at a time. When the meringue is stiff, fold in the nut and chocolate mixture.

4. Bake the base 

Pour everything into a 23–24 cm springform tin and bake for approx. 45 minutes at 150 °C fan. Then pop the base in the freezer.

5. Prepare the gelatine 

Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water.

6. Make the cheese cream 

Whisk 180 ml double cream, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together.

7. Melt the gelatine 

Pour 50 ml double cream into a small saucepan and add the gelatine. Melt over a low heat. As soon as the gelatine has melted, take the saucepan off the heat.

8. Combine 

Pour the gelatine mixture in a thin stream into the cream while whisking. Once everything is whisked in, whisk in the rhubarb.

9. Chill

Leave the cream in the fridge for 1–1.5 hours. Decorate When the cream is ready, turn the base out onto a serving plate. Spread the cream on top and decorate with strawberries. 

10. Serve 

Slice, serve and enjoy.

Tips:

• You can easily make the cake the day before, but wait to decorate with strawberries until serving.
• Cool the rhubarb compote completely before adding it to the cheesecake cream.
• Use the Prostick mini chopper to finely chop the nuts and chocolate for the base.
