Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup diced mango
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1 cup diced kiwi

Topping

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup mango or pineapple jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust and cheesecake.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let it cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in the Fruit: Gently fold in the diced mango, pineapple, and kiwi to incorporate the tropical fruit chunks evenly throughout the batter without breaking them down.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the fruit-filled cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  6. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the cheesecake for 60 to 70 minutes until the center is almost set but still has a slight jiggle. Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked open for one hour to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to fully set and develop flavors.
  8. Prepare the Topping: Heat the mango or pineapple jam in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes smooth and pourable. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
  9. Serve: Arrange the sliced strawberries over the chilled cheesecake, then drizzle the warmed jam glaze on top. Slice and serve this refreshing tropical fruit salad cheesecake to enjoy its creamy, fruity goodness.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Dicing the fruit evenly helps distribute flavors and textures.
  • Allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven helps prevent cracking.
  • Refrigeration overnight improves texture and flavor melding.
  • Fruit jam can be substituted with apricot jam for a different flavor profile.
  • Use fresh, ripe tropical fruits for the best taste and texture.
