Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Press into bottom of a 10-inch spring-form pan. Bake 10 minutes, remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  2. Place cream cheese, avocados, chopped kiwifruit in a large bowl, and beat with electric mixer until smooth. You will see the kiwifruit seeds and that’s ok. Beat in sugar, flour, vanilla, lime juice, zest, cinnamon, and eggs until smooth. For an even smoother batter, follow up with a few minutes of mixing with an immersion blender.
  3. Pour crust into a spring-form pan. Bake for an hour until just about set. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with door shut for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 20 minutes.
  4. Arrange sliced kiwifruit on top and refrigerate minimum of six hours or overnight.
