Ingredients

For the base:

250 g digestive biscuits crushed
125 g unsalted butter melted
¼ cup 60g granulated sugar

For the filling:

600 g cream cheese softened
1 cup white granulated sugar
¼ cup 60ml lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups 500ml thickened (whipping) cream, whipped stiff peaks

Instructions

Make the base: Combine the crushed biscuits, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 23cm springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract until combined. Fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust. Gently swirl in the diced feijoas. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve: Top with additional feijoa slices, if desired.

Notes

Tips:

For a smooth cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before beating.
Don't overmix the filling, as this can make it tough.
If you don't have feijoas, you can substitute with other fruits, such as mangoes, berries, or pineapple.
This cheesecake can be decorated with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.

Variations:

Chocolate Swirl:: Add 1/2 cup (120ml) of melted chocolate to the filling and swirl it in before pouring it into the crust.
Berry Swirl:: Add 1 cup (237ml) of fresh berries to the filling and swirl it in before pouring it into the crust.
Mango Swirl:: Add 1 cup of diced mango to the filling and swirl it in before pouring it into the crust.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the cheesecake cold, with your favourite toppings.
Pair it with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.
Make it for a special occasion, such as a birthday or holiday party.
