Recipe: Passionfruit & Lime Cheesecake
Mar 15, 2021BASE INGREDIENTS
-
200g gluten free granola, I used Primal Alternative Fat & Seedy Granola
-
3-4 Tbsp melted butter, ghee or coconut oil
FILLING INGREDIENTS
-
1 1/2 cups raw cashews (soaked until soft)
-
120g passionfruit pulp (I used frozen passionfruit and defrosted it) + some extra for garnishing
-
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
-
1/2 cup coconut cream
-
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
-
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
-
1 tsp vanilla powder or 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Line a square slice tin or round cake tin with baking paper.
-
Blend the granola and melted butter together to combine. Press the mixture evenly into the lined tin. Place in the fridge to set.
-
Add all of the filling ingredients (except the passionfruit) into a food processor or Thermomix and blend on high until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides and reblend to get rid of any lumps.
-
Pour the filling over the base, pour the passionfruit on top and swirl it through using a spoon or knife. Chill in the fridge overnight.
-
Optional: I like to put it in the freezer 20-30 minutes before serving, it turns it into a semi-frozen cheesecake with the most delicious, creamy texture, but this step is optional. It’s just as delicious served straight from the fridge.
-
Garnish with extra granola, passionfruit pulp and a touch of lime or lemon zest. Serve and enjoy!
