- 100ml passionfruit puree (fresh or canned)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for a firmer cheesecake)

Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits with the melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the icing sugar until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream, passionfruit puree, and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Optional Gelatin: If using gelatin, dissolve it in a small amount of warm water as per package instructions and add it to the filling mixture, stirring well.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the passionfruit filling over the biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Garnish and Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh passionfruit pulp or slices if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
