Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a 9-inch springform pan with baking paper and crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press firmly into the pan. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 140°C (285°F). In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream until fluffy. Gradually add caster sugar and passion fruit pulp, mixing until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  3. Pour cheesecake batter over the chilled crust. Bake for 60-70 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  4. Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door cracked open for an hour, then cool at room temperature for another hour before refrigerating for at least 3 hours.
  5. For the coulis, combine passion fruit pulp, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Stir continuously until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Cool before pouring over the cheesecake.
  6. Remove the springform pan, slice the cheesecake, and garnish as desired. Serve and enjoy!
