This White Chocolate and Passion Fruit Cheesecake is a delicious treat. The creamy, sweet taste of the white chocolate is a perfect complement to the fresh, slightly sour taste of the passion fruit.
A base of Biscoff cookies, a silky cheesecake, it looks beautiful with the yellow passion fruit on top and tastes delicious. You can't say no to this!
White Chocolate Cheesecake with Passion Fruit
I love cheesecake in all shapes and flavors. Brownie cheesecake, fruity blueberry cheesecake, or tiny cheesecakes like chocolate cheesecake cupcakes. You can wake me up at night for it.
And they are really easy to make too. The base is made of crumbled Biscoff cookies with melted butter. Topped with a creamy cheesecake made from cream cheese, mascarpone, and white chocolate. You bake it in the oven and then present it with passion fruit. And that not only gives a delicious taste, but also a beautiful presentation. Try this treat yourself!
Top Tips Passionfruit
- Passion fruits are available with a smooth exterior but also with wrinkled skin. The wrinkled variety is the sweetest.
- Passion fruits are stored at room temperature. To get the pulp out of the fruit, cut it in half and spoon out the pulp.
