  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

Creating a passionfruit cheesecake requires a selection of simple yet flavorful ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup passionfruit pulp (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

Making a passionfruit cheesecake is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve cheesecake perfection:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Prepare the crust:
    • Mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a bowl.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling:
    • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract and passionfruit pulp until fully incorporated.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake:
    • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly.
  5. Bake the cheesecake:
    • Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The cheesecake should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool and refrigerate:
    • Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours to ensure it sets properly.
  7. Finish with sour cream:
    • Before serving, spread a layer of sour cream over the top of the cheesecake for added creaminess and a slight tang.
