Advice
For a sweeter and more elastic version of the base, you can add a spoonful of honey to the biscuit mixture. White chocolate gives stability to the cream cheese, therefore it will not be necessary to add gelatin or isinglass.
If you prefer a lighter version , you can replace the cream with ricotta . Furthermore, you can vary the topping as you prefer, with another type of chocolate , such as milk chocolate, or with fresh seasonal fruit other than strawberries.
