Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
Topping
- 1 cup kiwi puree (about 4 kiwis)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for puree
- Additional kiwi slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Add Kiwi: Gently fold the sliced kiwis into the cream filling, ensuring even distribution without breaking the slices.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling mixture over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
- Prepare the Topping: Blend approximately 4 kiwis with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until smooth to create the kiwi puree. Once the cheesecake has set, gently spread the kiwi puree evenly over the surface.
- Garnish and Serve: Decorate the top of the cheesecake with additional kiwi slices for a fresh look. Slice and serve chilled for best taste.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother filling.
- Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps it hold together better.
- For a sweeter topping, adjust the sugar in the kiwi puree to taste.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits if preferred.
- This cheesecake is best served within 24 hours for freshness.
