Chocolate Cheesecake with Homemade Strawberry Jelly

Another year passed, and again I made a cake for my beloved son's birthday. He is a devotee of chocolate and strawberries, and because it is very warm outside, the cake had to be appropriate to the weather, cold.
Tort - cheesecake is not very caloric, because I lowered to the maximum the amount of sugar, and hence, is light, delicate and ideal to go with an afternoon tea on hot summer days.

Ingredients for 20 cm spring form: 

500 g quark, (I used organic) 
100 ml of boiling water 
60 g brown sugar
2 tbsp cocoa, organic 
4 tsp powdered gelatine

Crust:


100 g ground almonds
 2 tbsp butter

Jelly: 

500 g strawberries, fresh 
50 ml of boiling water 
1 - 2 tbsp agave syrup (optional) *
 2 tsp powdered gelatine

Directions:


Mix almonds with butter. Place the mass in a spring form and create a crust. Lightly grease with oil the collar of the form, the cheesecake will easier part from the from. Dissolved sugar in water, than add gelatin and mix.
Mix quark with an electric mixer, add sugar mixture and gradually add to the cheese. Pour the mixture in to the form and refrigerate for few hours, to solidify. After this time, make a strawberry puree. (*if strawberries are not very sweet, add the syrup). Dissolve gelatin in water, add to the puree. Mix well and pour cheese.Again, refrigerate for several hours. Done.
