Passion Mango Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the crust

   In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then remove and cool.

2. 2

   Make the cheesecake filling

   In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and passion fruit puree. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.

3. 3

   Bake the cheesecake

   Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.

4. 4

   Chill the cheesecake

   Remove the cheesecake from the oven, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.

5. 5

   Prepare the passion fruit curd

   In a medium saucepan, whisk together passion fruit juice, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

6. 6

   Make the mango glaze

   In a small saucepan, combine mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium until warmed through. Mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then add to the saucepan and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

7. 7

   Assemble the cheesecake

   Once the cheesecake is set, spread the passion fruit curd evenly over the top. Then, drizzle the mango glaze over the curd, creating a marbled effect if desired.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled, garnishing with additional passion fruit pulp if desired.
