Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4–5 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
- 3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix gelatin and water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Microwave for 15 seconds to dissolve completely. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Stir in the dissolved gelatin, mixing well.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Arrange kiwi slices on top before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Use ripe kiwis for the best flavor and presentation.
- You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits if preferred.
