  • cheesecake

  • 250g cream cheese, room temperature, cubed

  • 45g caster sugar

  • 20g brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 125mL Bulla thickened cream

  • 330mL Bulla sour cream

  • ¼ cup fresh passionfruit pulp (approx. 3 fresh passionfruit)

topping

  • 150mL Bulla sour cream

  • 35g icing sugar

  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste

  • ¼ cup fresh passionfruit pulp (approx. 3 passionfruit)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 150°C (130°C fan-forced).

  • Grease an 18cm cake ring or spring-form tin and line the sides with baking paper, so that the baking paper sits slightly higher than the tin.

  • Pulse the biscuits in a blender or food processor until fine crumbs form. Place the biscuit crumbs and melted butter into a bowl and mix well until combined.

  • Press crumb mixture into the base of the prepared tin. Place on a baking tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  • Place the cream cheese into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on a low speed for about 3 minutes or until creamy. Add the sugars and mix for a further 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition on a low speed. Scrape sides of bowl if necessary.

  • Reduce to a low speed (1-3), add the Bulla Thickened Cream, Bulla Sour Cream and passionfruit. Beat until the creams are mixed through and there are no lumps.

  • Pour filling onto biscult base and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until firm. Remove from oven and increase heat to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).

  • For the topping, set aside 2 teaspoons of the passionfruit pulp and mix the remaining topping ingredients together. Place on top of the cheesecake and bake for 8 minutes.

  • Cool at room temperature and place in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours prior to serving.

  • To serve, garnish with reserved passionfruit pulp.
