Prepare the Crust: Place biscuits in a food processor and blitz to fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch (20cm) springform tin and chill.
Melt Chocolate: Melt 300g of white chocolate in the microwave (20-second bursts) or over a double boiler. Set aside to cool to room temperature (crucial to prevent seizing!).
Whip the Base: In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
Add Volume: Pour in 300ml double cream and whisk until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks.
Combine: Pour the cooled white chocolate into the mixture and whisk briefly to combine. Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and freeze-dried strawberries gently using a spatula.
Chill: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Decorate: Before serving, whip the remaining cream with icing sugar to stiff peaks. Pipe onto the cheesecake, drizzle with melted white chocolate, and top with fresh berries.
