Agar-agar is a plant-based alternative for setting.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Crush the crispbread into fine crumbs using a food processor.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Combine the crispbread crumbs with melted butter in a bowl until well mixed.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.

Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.

Dissolve gelatin in warm water according to package instructions and stir into the mixture until fully incorporated.

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.

Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves before serving.
