PASSION FRUIT CHEESECAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• In an 8-inch springform pan, invert it and line the base with baking paper. Let the sides overhang and secure the base to the pan again.
• Using a food processor, mix the biscuits until it is finely crushed. Add the butter and process the mixture together until it's combined. Put the crust mixture into the springform pan, using the back of your spoon to spread it around and press it. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and put it in your refrigerator, letting it chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Beat the cream cheese, lemon rind, and the caster sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the flour and lemon juice, then the eggs one at a time. Make sure it beats well after adding one egg after another. Last, add the heavy cream and mix well.
• Add cream cheese mixture into the 8-inch springform pan, on top of the crust. Place on a baking tray and let it bake for about an hour and ten minutes, or once your cheesecake is set in the center.
• Turn off the oven and open the door just a bit, letting the cheesecake stay in the oven for two hours until it's completely cooled. Place the cheesecake in the fridge overnight to let it set.
• For the passion fruit topping, mix the cornstarch and water in a bowl and put it in a saucepan. Add the extra caster sugar and passion fruit pulp, letting it cook over medium heat. Stir for about three minutes or when the mixture starts to boil and thicken
• Remove from heat and allow the passion fruit cool for about 30 minutes. Pour it over the cheesecake and put it back in the fridge for about two hours or until it sets

• Press graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Transfer to oven and bake until crust is lightly golden and fragrant, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
• Make the cheesecake: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together cream cheese, sugar, and salt on medium-high until light and fluffy. Add egg and whisk to combine. Pour into cooled tart shell and transfer to oven; bake until just set, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Make the passion fruit layer: Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, passion fruit puree, and salt; pour over cooled cheesecake layer. Transfer to oven and bake until set but center still has a slight jiggle, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

PASSION FRUIT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the cheesecake: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Brush an 8-inch springform pan with a light coating of canola oil.
• Puree the mango and passion fruit juice in a food processor until smooth. Add the cream cheese and continue to process until smooth. Then add the sugar, yogurt, and cornstarch, pulsing to combine. Then add the eggs, lime zest and juice and pulse to combine. Take care not to overmix the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake the cheesecake until the outside of the cake is set but the center is still a little loose, about 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door to let out some heat. Close door and continue to cook the cheesecake in the residual heat in the oven for 20 minutes. This gentle finish minimizes the risk of the dreaded crack in your cheesecake.
• Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile make the topping: Put about half of the passion fruit juice and all the lime juice in a medium bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Don't stir. Set aside until the gelatin "blooms", about 1 minute. Boil the remaining passion fruit juice and all of the sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Whisk the hot juice into the gelatin mixture until smooth. Refrigerate until just begins to set, about 20 minutes. Stir in the fresh passion fruit pulp and seeds and pour over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• To make mango coulis: Puree the passion fruit juice, mango, lime juice, and sugar in a food processor.
• Bring cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. To serve, dip a knife in warm water, wipe dry before slicing each piece. Serve with mango coulis.
