How to Make No-Bake Passion Fruit Cheesecake

Ingredients:

28 Golden Oreo Cookies
1/3 cup (75g) butter, melted
16 oz. (450g) cream cheese, full fat, brick style, softened
1/3 cup (80g) sour cream, full fat
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
1 1/4 cups (250g) passion fruit pulp (with seeds)
1/3 cup (66g) white granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:

Prepare the Springform Pan: Flip the base of an 8-inch round springform pan upside down and spray it with non-stick spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
Make the Crust: Pulse the Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, add melted butter, and press the mixture into the pan. Freeze to set.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Add the heavy cream and beat until thickened. Spread this mixture over the crust and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight until set.
Make the Passion Fruit Topping: Cook the passion fruit pulp, sugar, and lemon juice on medium heat until the mixture thickens. Let it cool, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Assemble and Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the pan and pour the topping over it. Slice and serve chilled.
