This no bake passion fruit cheesecake is the perfect balance of sweet, citrus and tart. If you have never had fresh passion fruit before you are in for a treat.
This whole winter, I complained that it lasted forever.
It was cold and snowy and, overall, just a huge drain on my personal happiness. At one point, I told my husband that if it snowed one more time, we were moving somewhere warm.
I didn’t care where we moved, just as long as a Trader Joe’s was nearby. Rational, right?
Well, the weather is starting to warm up, so now I feel like I’m about to die. It’s not hot enough to turn on the air conditioning, but my house has zero airflow, so it has difficulty staying cool.
I’m unsure why airflow is not considered when building a house, but engineers (architects?) must get on that.
My home is like a jail cell with zero breezes. Plus, at night, I’m forced (ok, forced is a strong word) to sleep at the foot of the bed with the fan blowing on my face.
I look like I belong in a bad 1980s music video with all my hair flying around. If you think I don’t know, I sound crazy, I know. I cannot handle being even a little bit hot #firstworldproblems
Hey are you a big fan of all things passion fruit? Why not give this passion fruit margarita a try!
So, what does a girl do when roasting in her house? She makes something no bake.
No oven = no added heat.
This cheesecake is super creamy (the way I like it!) and has just a touch of lime flavor.
The delicious passion fruit on top is so over-the-top amazing that I don’t even know where to begin.
If you have never had fresh passion fruit, it can only be described as sweet and tart. It cuts the super cream cheese flavor of the cheesecake without overpowering the whole dish.

Yield: 6 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 0 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes plus chilling time For crust: For cheesecake: For crust: Press into a 9-inch pie plate or press into single serving mason jars. Add the pie to fridge so the crust hardens. For cheesecake: Pour in heavy cream and start incorporating into the cream cheese mixture. It's best to start slow and work your way up in speed. If you try to go too fast at once it will make a mess. Once the heavy cream is combined turn the speed up to high and beat for about 3 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy. Pour in sugar and continue to beat for another minutes until combined. Carefully spread the mixture on top of the crust (or into jars) and let sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours but can be left overnight as well. When you are ready to serve the cheesecake cut open the passion fruit and pour across the top of the cheesecake.No Bake Passion Fruit Cheesecake
