Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavour.
Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing it with the biscuit base so it doesn’t become soggy.
Press the base firmly into the pan so it holds its shape when sliced.
Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding it to the cream to avoid lumps.
Chill the cheesecake for at least 4–6 hours, but overnight is best for a firm set.
You can use any fruit for the topping depending on season or preference.
If using fresh fruit instead of frozen, reduce the cooking time slightly.
For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting.
