Creamy Tropical Baked Cheesecake

Submitted by Bondnz

"Passionfruit, Lime & Coconut make this super easy cheesecake so dreamy!! I make it for any pot luck we attend, it's so quick & simple to whip up & I don't know a single person who can resist!! It's delicious! Adapted/evolved from a friends already champion recipe, I was wanting to make something perfect on it's own, as is where is, no further fruit, cream or icecream required (but who would say no if it's not already on offer lol!)"

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 1 9
• Serves: 8-12

ingredients

• 250 g malt biscuits
• 150 g butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
• 250 g cream cheese
• 395 g condensed milk
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 egg
• 1⁄4 cup passion fruit pulp or 1/4 cup dessert topping
• 1⁄8 cup desiccated coconut, approx

directions

1. Preheat oven to 150ºC.
2. Crush biscuits in food processor, blend in melted butter & 2T dessicated coconut.
3. Line base of prepared 9"cake pan with biscuit mix & press up sides with any excess.
4. Beat cream cheese & condensed milk for about 5 minutes ensuring there's no lumps remaining, scraping down the bowl as required.
5. Add egg, & lime juice. Continue to beat until smooth & creamy. (You can add in a bit more dessicated coconut here, I've also used a couple of tablespoons of coconut milk or a dash of malibu for a bit more kick).
6. Pour cream mixture over the cheesecake base.
7. Gently swirl or spoon sauce or topping through the cream cheese mix. I don't usually measure this step, just add however much you want or have!
8. Sprinkle evenly with dessicated coconut.
9. Bake for 35-45minutes, depending on your oven. Cheesecake should be evenly browned on top & be quite firm to the touch. It will not matter if your cheesecake is not quite set enough, just makes the texture a bit more fluffy. Cheesecake will tend to split if it's left in too long but this usually dissappears on standing.
10. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
