Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup passionfruit puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup passionfruit puree
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in passionfruit puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust and spread it into an even layer.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
  9. In a small saucepan, combine passionfruit puree and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  10. Pour the passionfruit topping over the cooled cheesecake layer and spread it evenly.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  12. Lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, then slice into bars.
  13. Serve chilled and enjoy!
