Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 grams Digestive Biscuits
  • 100 grams Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 500 grams Cream Cheese
  • 200 grams Sour Cream
  • 150 grams Caster Sugar
  • 3 pieces Eggs
  • 200 grams Passion Fruit Pulp
  • 100 grams Passion Fruit Pulp (for topping)
  • 50 grams Caster Sugar (for topping)
  • 20 grams Cornstarch
  • 10 ml Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuit Base: Start by preheating your oven to 160°C (320°F). In a food processor, combine the digestive biscuits and pulse them into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted unsalted butter and mix until everything is well incorporated; the mixture should resemble wet sand. Transfer this mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and press it down firmly to create an even base.
  2. Create the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese until it’s soft and smooth. Add the sour cream and caster sugar, mixing until fully combined. Next, beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring the mixture is well integrated before adding the next one. Stir in the passion fruit pulp, lemon juice, and cornstarch until everything is combined, creating a creamy, fruity filling.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to release any air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
  4. Cool and Chill: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about an hour with the door slightly ajar. This gradual cooling helps prevent cracks. Afterward, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 240 minutes—or overnight—for the best results.
  5. Prepare the Passion Fruit Topping: While your cheesecake chills, let’s make the passion fruit topping! In a small saucepan, combine the extra passion fruit pulp with caster sugar and simmer gently until the sugar dissolves. Allow this mixture to cool.
  6. Final Assembly: Once your cheesecake is chilled and firm, gently pour the passion fruit topping over the cheesecake, spreading it evenly. Return it to the fridge to set for a bit more time—this will allow the flavors to meld beautifully!

Notes

For a smoother texture, consider using a water bath while baking. Don’t skip the cooling step in the oven to prevent cracks.
