An easy cheesecake recipe with white chocolate and passion fruit combined. Not just an intense flavor, it also looks beautiful.
There are already such a lot of cheesecake recipes. But this one is very special, it is combined with passion fruit and white chocolate. The passion fruit contains yellow, jelly-like pulp with seeds (which you can eat) and the taste is fresh and slightly sour.
I once made my cheesecake in an oven with circular heat (by a fan) (a conventional oven). It looked great, but the inside was still wet. I didn't know what went wrong, but I talked to an aunt and she said that the fan took care of the outside, but the inside didn't have time to get baked. So from that moment on, I baked my cheesecake in a conventional oven. And every cheesecake baked from that moment on is done.
- Passion fruit is for sale with wrinkled skin and with a smooth exterior. The wrinkled variant is sweeter than the smooth variant.
- Passionfruit is stored outside the fridge. Cut the fruit in half and use scoop the flesh from the skin;
- In the recipe, whisk the egg whites first and then the fat products (such as mascarpone and cream cheese). If the egg whites come in contact with fat they can't stiffen. Therefore always use a fat-free bowl (wash before use in hot soapy water).
- This cheesecake can be prepared 1 day before eating. He gets even better! Store it in the refrigerator until use. Just add the fresh passion fruit before serving the cake, so it remains nice and smooth and it does not dry out.
- In the refrigerator: up to 4 days shelf life, packaged in a sealed container or bag
- In the freezer: up to 6 months, kept in a sealed freezer bag or box.
