Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Step 1: Prepare the crust by crushing graham crackers until fine. Mix with melted butter and sugar, then press into muffin cups. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Make the filling by beating cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the cream cheese along with vanilla, lemon juice, and dragon fruit puree.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the chilled crusts, smooth the tops and chill for at least 4 hours until set.
  4. Step 4: For the optional dragon fruit layer, mix puree with sugar and activate the gelatin with warm water before stirring into the mixture. Spread over cheesecakes and chill for an additional 30-60 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with fresh dragon fruit, mint leaves, or whipped cream before serving and enjoy.
