Ingredients

• 250 g Plain sweet biscuits (e.g., Graham crackers, Digestive biscuits)
• 125 g Unsalted butter, melted
• 500 g Cream cheese, softened
• 150 g Caster sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 10 g Gelatin powder
• 0.25 cup Boiling water
• 300 ml Thickened cream
• 0.5 cup Passionfruit pulp, fresh or canned
• 2 tbsp Caster sugar (for topping)
• 1 tsp Cornflour
• 2 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Line a 20cm x 30cm (8in x 12in) baking pan with baking paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

Place the biscuits in a food processor and blitz until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Combine the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.

Step 4

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan to form the base. Place the pan in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in 1/4 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and caster sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, and mix until combined.

Step 8

Gradually pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture while mixing continuously to ensure it is evenly incorporated.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, whip the thickened cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

Step 10

Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Return the pan to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 11

To make the passionfruit topping, combine the passionfruit pulp, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, cornflour, and 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan.

Step 12

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Step 13

Once the cheesecake layer is set, spread the cooled passionfruit topping evenly over the surface.

Step 14

Chill the cheesecake slice in the fridge for an additional 1 hour to set the topping.

Step 15

Using the overhanging baking paper, lift the slice out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal portions and serve.
