Mango and Passionfruit Cheesecake

Mango and Passionfruit Cheesecake

This mango and passionfruit cheesecake is rich, creamy and perfectly balanced! A buttery digestive biscuit base is topped with my smooth mango and passionfruit filling, finished with softly whipped cream and fresh passionfruit. Plus it is the perfect dessert for entertaining as it can be made ahead and kept chilled until ready to serve.
Total Time:2 hours
Servings: 8 people

Ingredients

Base

  • 400 g digestive biscuits
  • 135 g salted butter melted

Cheesecake filling

  • 350 ml mango pulp
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • 400 g cream cheese
  • 60 g icing sugar
  • Pulp of 6 passionfruits

Decoration

  • 300 ml double cream
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 60 g icing sugar
  • Pulp of 4 passionfruits

Instructions

  • Crush the digestive biscuits finely using a food processor or rolling pin. I do the latter! Simply put the biscuits into a ziplock bag and bash with a rolling pin until a fine crumb forms.
  • In a bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until fully combined.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the base of a tin and up the sides to create a crust and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  • In a large bowl add the cream cheese, mascarpone and icing sugar. Pour in the mango pulp & add the pulp of 6 passionfruits and whisk until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl gently whip the 300ml double cream until it reaches soft peaks.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the mango cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
  • Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled base and smooth the top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until fully set.
  • To decorate, whip the remaining 300ml double cream until soft peaks form.
  • Spread or pipe the cream over the cheesecake and finish with the pulp of 4 passionfruits.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
