Instructions
Making a passionfruit cheesecake is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve cheesecake perfection:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble the cheesecake:
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
