Passion Fruit Cheesecake

Is there anything better than a truly great slice of cheesecake? Creamy smooth vanilla middle, crunchy buttery sugary base, and a sharp tangy tropical puree on top. There’s nothing like it on a nice hot summer day.
I love the contrast that the passion fruit tang brings to the gentle cream cheese filling in this recipe. It tastes so fresh and light.

CAKE BASE

• Preheat the oven to 325°F / 160°C.

CAKE BATTER

• Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat together with the 1 ⅓ cup white sugar until creamy.
• Add the salt, vanilla extract, eggs, sour cream and heavy cream and mix together well, making sure there are no lumps in the batter.
• Sift the flour over the top and mix again.
• Pour the batter into the pan with the baked crust and then wrap the edges of the pan in foil and place the pan in a water bath.
• Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, adding more water to the water bath as needed.
• The cheesecake may not look completely done but it will bake more with the passion fruit topping. Let the cheesecake cool.

• Pour the passion fruit mix over the cooled cheesecake and then return the cheesecake to the oven to bake for another 20 minutes.
