How To Make Kiwi Cheesecake
Ingredients
For Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cup ricotta cheese, drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 5 eggs
- 3 medium kiwis, peeled and pureed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp vanilla
For topping:
- 3 medium kiwis, peeled and sliced thin
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9-inch cheesecake or springform pan with 3-inch sides, lined with parchment paper.
Making the filling
-
In a large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, ricotta, sour cream and sugar on medium-high speed for 3 minutes.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in kiwi puree, flour, lime juice and vanilla.
-
Pour into the prepared cheesecake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until the top is light brown and the center has a slight jiggle to it.
-
Cool on a rack for 2 hours. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Garnish with the sliced kiwis and serve.
Preparing the fruit topping
-
In a small saucepan, bring apricot preserves to medium heat.
-
Press through a sieve and brush on top of kiwis. This will keep the fruit looking fresh.
