Instructions

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture feels like wet sand. Press this into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
3. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar. Beat until smooth.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract and passionfruit pulp.
6. Fold in the sour cream until just combined.
7. Pour the batter over the crust in the springform pan.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 70 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake is only slightly jiggly.
9. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for another hour.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Tips

1. For an even tangier flavor, add an extra tablespoon of passionfruit pulp.
2. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, especially the cream cheese. This ensures a smoother batter.
3. Avoid overmixing as this can introduce air bubbles, leading to cracks in your finished cheesecake.
4. Placing a pan of water in the oven while baking can help prevent cracks by adding moisture.

Serving Suggestions

The Passionfruit cheesecake tastes fantastic on its own, but you can elevate the experience:

• Drizzle some passionfruit pulp on top before serving.
• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
• A sprinkle of grated white chocolate can add a touch of elegance.
• Fresh berries, such as raspberries or blueberries, complement the tangy flavor of the passionfruit.
