📜 Nigella Passionfruit Cheesecake Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 250 g Lotus biscoff biscuits, finely crushed
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 100 g unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake:

• 920 g cream cheese (4 bricks), softened to room temperature
• 150 g granulated sugar
• 150 g Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 150 g passionfruit puree, seedless, with more (with seeds) for topping
• 4 large eggs, room temperature

👩‍🍳 How To Make Nigella Passionfruit Cheesecake

For the Crust:

1. Turn the oven on to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan for baking by wrapping the bottom and sides with aluminum foil. Put aside.
2. Crush Lotus biscuits finely, add brown sugar and melted butter, and whisk until the mixture resembles wet sand in a medium bowl.
3. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your springform pan using a silicone spatula.
4. Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes. Do not fill it with the cheesecake batter until it has cooled completely.

For the Cheesecake:

1. Create the cheesecake filling while the crust bakes and cools. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
2. Blend in the sugar, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract and stir until well combined. Mix in the passionfruit puree until it is evenly distributed. Finally, incorporate the eggs and whip them until creamy.
3. Spread the cheesecake filling over the bottom of the prepared springform pan. If necessary, use a spatula to even out the top.
4. Put another pan in the oven on the bottom rack and fill it with boiling water to a depth of about an inch. Put the cheesecake in the middle rack.
5. Bake the cheesecake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until the borders are set and the middle is just a little jiggly when the pan is shaken.
6. When you take the cheesecake out of the oven, use an offset spatula to loosen the sides from the pan right away so that the cheesecake doesn’t crack as it cools.
7. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
8. Spread passionfruit puree on top of the cheesecake right before serving.
