Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 cup (150g) diced mango
- 1 cup (150g) diced pineapple
- 1 cup (150g) sliced kiwis
- 1/2 cup (75g) pomegranate seeds or diced strawberries
- 1/2 cup (120ml) orange juice
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan.
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth, then add vanilla extract and lime zest.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour this filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- For the topping, combine the mango, pineapple, kiwis, and pomegranate seeds. Whisk together the orange juice and honey (or maple syrup) and drizzle over the fruits, tossing gently to coat.
- Once the cheesecake is set, remove it from the pan, place it on a serving plate, and spoon the tropical fruit salad over it. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
For smooth filling, ensure the cream cheese is very soft before mixing. Chill overnight for best results.
