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 ¼ 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.
