How to Make Passionfruit Cheesecake
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Ensuring your oven is preheated is crucial for baking the cheesecake evenly!
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until crumbly and well blended, resembling damp sand.
Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then take it out and let it cool completely.
Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract gradually, mixing until combined.
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended.
Fold in the sour cream and passionfruit pulp gently until everything is beautifully combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake it in your preheated oven for 50-60 minutes.
Cool the cheesecake slowly by turning off the oven and cracking the door ajar. Let it sit in the oven for about 1 hour.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for optimal results.
Drizzle the extra passionfruit pulp over the cheesecake before serving.
Remove the sides of the springform pan carefully, slice the cheesecake, and serve chilled.
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for best results. Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the eggs.
