And the best news is, it is no bake. NO EFFORT! Just pure indulgence.
SO - indulge yourself! Whip up some cream...
...and in a seperate bowl combine some cottage cheese, condensed milk and lemon juice, and fold into the cream.
Hydrate some gelatin, fold into the cheese cake mixture, and then fold in some melted dark chocolate.
Pour into an easy biscuit base made of tennis biscuits (or graham crackers) and melted butter and....
That's it!
Oh wait! I am forgetting the kiwi.
Do you know that you can peel a kiwi with ease - with a spoon! Yip - stay tuned for a video of that. (And a video of the cut and scoop method that can win you one of those R1000 Yuppie Chef vouchers!)
So after peeling, just slice up and plop on top.
Simple and sweet. Oh yes, now its time to pop into the fridge to set. And then 1-2 hours later - you can give into your need for cheesecake!
P.s - if you thought this was awesome, you may want to check these other kiwi treats:

Disclaimer: this is a sponsored post. Zespri has
supplied me with the kiwi fruit that were used in this post. I can
assure you, all the views are my own! I would not promote a product if I
didn't believe in it whole-heartily! The kiwis I received were
amazingly firm, and in good condition. They were tasty and wonderful!
And I am glad to be part of their Blogger Challenge. Thank you Zespri!
