Ingredients

• 200 grams Digestive biscuits
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 400 grams Cream cheese
• 250 ml Whipping cream
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 7 grams Gelatin powder
• 50 ml Hot water
• 5 medium Fresh kiwifruits
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Place the digestive biscuits in a food processor and process until they become fine crumbs.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or the microwave, and mix it thoroughly with the biscuit crumbs.

Step 3

Press the mixture into the base of a 23-cm (9-inch) springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 6

Dissolve the gelatin powder in hot water, stirring until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 7

Peel 3 kiwifruits and finely dice them. Gently fold the diced kiwifruit into the cheesecake filling.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit crust, spreading it out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, peel and slice the remaining 2 kiwifruits into thin rounds.

Step 10

Arrange the kiwifruit slices over the top of the cheesecake in a decorative pattern, then dust lightly with powdered sugar.

Step 11

Unlock the springform pan and carefully transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Serve chilled and enjoy!
