These bars bring together two favourites in one tray: creamy strawberry cheesecake and warm, aromatic gajar halwa. Each layer offers a different texture: buttery biscuit, soft halwa, and a chilled cheesecake finish. They’re simple to assemble, look impressive on a platter, and work well for festivals, birthdays, or gifting boxes.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Build the Crust

Crush the biscuits finely so the base becomes compact rather than crumbly. Mix them with melted butter until they resemble moist sand. Spread this mix in a lined 8-inch square tin and press firmly with a spoon so the corners stay even. Chill the crust for 20 minutes so the butter sets completely.

Description - Step 3

Whip the Cheesecake Layer

Bloom the gelatin in water and let it absorb fully. Heat the strawberries with sugar until they soften and release colour; then cool them. In another bowl, smooth out the cream cheese and blend in the strawberry mixture and vanilla. Melt the bloomed gelatin gently and mix it in. Fold in whipped cream to keep the texture airy. Pour the mixture over the halwa and refrigerate for 4–5 hours.
