Description

A light, refreshing no-bake cheesecake featuring a creamy filling topped with fresh kiwi slices, perfect for warm weather desserts.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 500g cream cheese, softened
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250ml heavy cream
  • 45 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp gelatin powder
  • 3 tbsp water (for blooming gelatin)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter. Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin in 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes. Then, gently heat until fully dissolved.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then stir in the dissolved gelatin.
  6. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  7. Before serving, arrange sliced kiwis on top and brush with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm kiwis for best flavor and presentation.
  • You can substitute gelatin with agar-agar for a vegetarian version.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
