You can use any recipe for your favorite pie crust. I used the simplest one since the cheesecake is the star.

Add any fruit you like, or omit the fruit altogether for a light lemon cheesecake.

You can create beautiful fruit purees with agave nectar. I suggest adding a teaspoon or two of psyllium husks to create body or it gets runny.

It may be pretty to add a little shredded coconut on top.
