Folláin Passionfruit Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 200g digestive biscuits
• 100g unsalted butter
• 300g cream cheese
• 250ml double cream
• 100g caster sugar
• 3 leaves of gelatine, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes
• 1 jar of Folláin Passionfruit Curd

Method

1. Crush the digestive biscuits. Melt butter and add to biscuit crumbs. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 20cm springform tin.
2. Heat half the cream until just hot. Squeeze excess water from gelatine and stir into the hot cream. Leave this to cool.
3. Whisk the cream cheese, sugar and the rest of the double cream in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add the gelatine mixture.
4. Fold in half of the passionfruit curd. Spread over the biscuit base. Gently heat the rest of the passionfruit curd until runny, and pour over the cheesecake. Chill before slicing and serving.
