INGREDIENTS
Crust:
5 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-11 full graham crackers)
6 tbsp melted butter
Vanilla Cheesecake:
1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup sugar
16 oz cream cheese (2 blocks), softened to room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Kiwi Jelly Topping:
4 ripe kiwis, peeled and pureed
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp agar agar powder
2 drops green food coloring (optional)
1-2 kiwis, thinly sliced for garnish
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are well-coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, forming an even crust layer.
Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you make the cheesecake filling.
Make the Creamy Cheesecake:
Warm 1/4 cup of the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over low heat
Sprinkle the gelatin over it and let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until fully dissolved
Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add in the vanilla extract and the cooled gelatin mixture, stirring until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Create the Vibrant Kiwi Jelly Topping:
In a saucepan, combine the pureed kiwis, water, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.
Stir in the agar agar powder and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens.
If desired, add green food coloring for a more vibrant appearance. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Pour the kiwi jelly over the chilled cheesecake, smoothing it out for an even layer.
Decorate and Serve:
Arrange the sliced kiwi pieces on top of the jelly layer for a beautiful finish.
Refrigerate for another hour to ensure the topping is fully set.
Gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
