Ingredients serve 8 - 10

Base

140 g biscuit crumbs

70 g melted butter

Cheese filling

10 g gelatin leaves

150 g cream

350 g cream cheese

100 g caster sugar

1 lime, zest and juice

200 g apple jelly

Method

Line a 20 cm spring form tin with greaseproof baking paper. Place biscuit crumbs and melted butter in a bowl and combine. Spread the crumb mixture evenly in the bottom of the tin and press firmly. Place the tin in the fridge until set. Place the gelatin in a bowl with cold water. Place cream in a mixing bowl and whisk until thickened to soft peak. Place cream cheese and sugar in another mixing bowl, whisk with an electrical mixer for approx. 3 minutes until mixture is evenly soft and fluffy. Place lime juice and zest in a bowl and combine. Squeeze the excess water from the gelatin leaves and heat gelatin until melted. Mix gelatin in the lemon juice and zest, blend into the cream cheese combination until incorporated. Fold the whipped cream evenly into the mixture. Spread the finished cheese mixture evenly in the cake tin on top of the crumb base. Allow cheese mixture to set in the fridge for 1 hour before decorating the top with slices of kiwi fruit. Pour apple jelly on top and allow cooling in the fridge for at least 3 hours before removing from the tin. Place cheesecake on a serving plate before cutting and serving.

Note: Try using lemon instead of lime or a mixture.
