Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8" round cake pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and oil until warm, then let cool slightly before whisking in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding sugar.
- Fold in the egg yolks and sifted flour gently, combining with the milk mixture.
- Bake the sponge for 30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a cheesecake ring in an 8-inch pan.
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Add eggs one by one, incorporating thoroughly, followed by the sour cream and gelatin.
- Bake in a water bath for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Bloom the gelatin in cold water according to package instructions.
- Heat the strawberry puree and sugar until warm, stir in dissolved gelatin.
- Pour over the chilled baked cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a double boiler, whisk the egg yolks with sugar.
- Add the bloomed gelation and mix; fold in cream cheese and strawberry puree, then the whipped cream.
- Pour the mousse over the set gelee layer and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
- Once set, whip additional cream and mix in freeze-dried strawberries for frosting.
- Spread frosting on the cheesecake and decorate with fresh strawberry slices.
- Chill again until ready to serve.

Notes
Ensure no yolk mixes with egg whites for the perfect texture. Chilling overnight enhances flavor.
