Pour the mixture into an 8-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper 4 and press it firmly to adhere to the base 5. Refrigerate to set for at least 30 minutes 6.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling: in a bowl combine the cream cheese with the powdered sugar 7, the heavy cream 8 and the strawberry yogurt 9.
Use electric beaters 10 and work everything until you obtain a stable, homogeneous consistency 11. After the crust has chilled, take it out of the refrigerator and pour the filling into it 12.
Level the surface 13 and let it firm up again in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Before serving, prepare the decoration: cut some strawberries in half 14 and others into slices 15.
Take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator and decorate the surface with the strawberries, arranging first an outer ring 16 and then an inner ring 17. Your strawberry cheesecake without gelatin is ready to be served 18!
