Ingredients
Scale
- 200g (7oz) digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 85g (3oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons powdered gelatine
- 1 cup whipping cream (250ml)
- 1/2 cup strained passionfruit pulp (125ml)
- 500g (1.1 pounds) cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- Grease and line an 8-inch springform pan with baking paper. Blitz the digestive biscuits in a blender until they turn into crumbs. Combine with melted butter and press into the base of the prepared pan. Set in the freezer to set.
- Dissolve 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatine in 1.5 tablespoons of boiling water and set aside. Whip the cream until soft peaks form and place in the fridge. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add the passionfruit pulp and gelatine mixture. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour over the prepared base and smooth the top. Chill while preparing the jelly.
- In a saucepan, soften the gelatine in water, then heat until dissolved. Add sugar and stir until dissolved, then mix in passionfruit pulp. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the passionfruit jelly over the cheesecake layer, then return to the fridge to chill for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove from the pan and enjoy chilled, optionally topping with extra passionfruit seeds.
