Equipment

Large bowl
Saucepan
Electric mixer

Ingredients

For the crust:

150 g plain biscuits, crushed (Nice, plain wine or digestive biscuits)
60 g unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the filling:

750 g cream cheese softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
2 kiwifruit peeled and diced

For the glaze:

¼ cup kiwifruit juice
1 tablespoon icing sugar

Instructions

Make the crust: Combine crushed biscuits, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Make the filling: Beat cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. Fold in whipped cream and diced kiwifruit. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
Make the glaze: Combine kiwifruit juice and icing sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool slightly. Pour the glaze over the top of the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Decorate with fresh kiwifruit slices before serving.

Notes

Tips:

Use full-fat cream cheese for the best results.
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
Don't overmix the filling, or it will become runny.
If you don't have kiwifruit juice, you can use orange juice or pineapple juice instead.
For a chocolate twist, add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the filling.

Variations:

Use other fruits in the filling, such as feijoa, strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
Add a swirl of chocolate or caramel sauce to the top of the cheesecake.
Top with chopped nuts or granola for added texture.

Serving suggestions:

Serve chilled with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
Drizzle with additional glaze.
Cut into squares and serve as finger food.
