Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan (9 inches/23 cm). Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Fold in the whipped heavy cream gently to maintain the fluffiness. Add lemon zest if using.

Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or until set.

3. Add the Topping:

Arrange fresh fruits decoratively on top of the cheesecake.

If desired, brush the fruits with warmed apricot jam or honey to give a glossy finish.

4. Serve:

Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this vibrant and refreshing dessert!
