Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 18 pieces graham crackers mashed to crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup seedless passion fruit pulp sifted to remove seeds

Passion Fruit Coulis Topping:

  • ½ cup passion fruit pulp
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool while preparing the filling.
  • Lower the oven heat to 325°F (160°C).

Cheesecake Filling:

  • To prepare the seedless passion fruit pulp, cut the passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp into a fine mesh sieve placed over a bowl. Press the pulp through the sieve with the back of a spoon to extract the juice and pulp, leaving the seeds behind.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
  • Sift and fold in the seedless passion fruit pulp until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is almost set (it should still be slightly jiggly in the middle).
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Passion Fruit Coulis Topping:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit pulp and sugar.
  • Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the lemon juice to make a slurry.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry to the passion fruit mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Assembly:

  • Once the cheesecake is set, pour the cooled passion fruit coulis over the top, spreading it evenly.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for another hour to allow the topping to set.
  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
  • Slice and serve chilled.
