Ingredient & Material Notes

  • Tart tin: this recipe calls for a 20 cm/8 inch tart tin with a removable bottom. You can also use a regular tart tin and serve it directly on there.
  • Passion fruit: this recipe calls for passion fruit in the filling and for the jelly. However for the jelly you can replace some of the passion fruit with good quality passion fruit juice.
  • Cream cheese: I like using Philadelphia cream cheese. You can also try making this no bake cheesecake tart with mascarpone cheese. I turns out lovely!
  • Heavy Whipping cream: must have a 30% minimum fat content.
  • Lotus biscoff cookies: I used these for the cheesecake tart base, but you can replace them with other cookies of your taste.

Recipe notes

  • Prepare the crust first, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before filling it with the passion fruit cheesecake batter.
  • To make the biscoff crust, if you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a Ziploc bag, then tap using a rolling pin until they are finely crushed.
  • You must first whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and then place it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • To make the passion fruit cheesecake filling you must warm up the eggs the sugar and passion fruit juice over a water bath until the mixture has thickened a bit and it has attained a temperature of 65 C°.
  • Be careful not to cook the eggs. In order to avoid this, whisk constantly while on the water bath.
  • To avoid a lumpy filling: let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, and make sure to smooth it out using a whisk or spatula before you add into the cheesecake batter.
  • Fold in the whipped cream into the filling delicately.
  • Once it has passion fruit cheesecake tart has set, you can make the jelly.
  • Place the tart tin on a baking tray, if possible inside the refrigerator and pour the filling over the cheesecake there. This will prevent the jelly from moving and spilling over.
  • Let the jelly set overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Make sure the baking tray with the cheesecake tart is placed straight inside the refrigerator so that the jelly sets evenly. If slightly inclined, then the jelly will be all on one side of the tart!
