Preparation

Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils ready.

Step 1: Preparing

Heat the oven to 300 ºF [150 ºC].

Grease the springform pan with butter if it is not non-stick; you can also cut and line it with a circle of parchment paper.

Step 2: Making the base

Mix the cookies, almonds, and melted butter in a food processor and grind until it turns into fine crumbs with the texture of brown sugar. Pour into mold and press the Graham cracker crumbs with a spoon or the bottom of a glass to form an even crust.

Set aside.

Step 3: Making cheese mix

Combine in the mixer cream cheese, condensed milk, passionfruit juice, and eggs and blend, scraping the sides with a spatula regularly. In the end, the mixture should be completely blended (3-5 minutes).

Pour the cheesecake batter into the mold, and even out with a spatula to obtain an even biscuit base layer.

Step 4: Baking

Bake cheesecake for one hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate covered for 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 5: Making the topping

Unmold the cheesecake and place it in a serving dish.

Make the passion fruit puree by mixing the passionfruit pulp and sugar. Cover the cheesecake with it.

Step 6: Serving

Once you add the passionfruit pulp topping, serve immediately.

Top tips

To make the passionfruit juice, blend 1 cup of passion fruit pulp and sieve to remove solids.
To store in the fridge for serving the next day, do it before adding the topping. While it can also be stored with the topping, it tends to dry out.
You can store lefotvers in the springform pan in the fridge covered with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. You can also freeze it and move it from the freezer to the refrigerator overnight to thaw.
