Hello, foodies!

Are you ready to take your dessert game to the next level? Today, I’m sharing a tropical twist on a classic favorite – Granadilla Cheesecake! This vibrant and creamy treat is perfect for those who love the tangy sweetness of granadilla (also known as passion fruit). Not only is it visually stunning with its golden hue, but it’s also a flavor explosion in every bite.

Why Granadilla?

Granadilla brings a unique mix of sweet and tart that pairs beautifully with the rich, velvety texture of cheesecake. Plus, it adds a natural tropical vibe to your dessert table, making it perfect for summer gatherings or anytime you need a little sunshine on your plate.

What You’ll Need:

• For the crust:
  • 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 100g melted butter
• For the filling:
  • 500g cream cheese
  • 200g granadilla pulp (fresh or canned)
  • 150g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
• For the topping:
  • 100g granadilla pulp
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

How to Make It:

1. Prepare the crust: Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter, and press into the base of a springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
2. Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add granadilla pulp, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla extract. Pour over the crust.
3. Bake: Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let it cool completely.
4. Add the topping: Heat granadilla pulp and sugar in a small pot. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook until slightly thickened. Let it cool before spreading over the cheesecake.
