Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 150°C.
  • Melt the butter gently in a heavy-based pan.
  • Process the digestive and ginger biscuits in a food processor until they form fine crumbs.
  • Line a 24cm spring-form cake tin with greaseproof paper and brush the base with melted butter.
  • Mix the remaining melted butter with the biscuit crumbs in the processor.
  • Press the crumbs into the tin base with a spoon until level.
  • Bake the base for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and let cool for five minutes.
  • Whisk cream cheese, 150ml cream, caster sugar, eggs, and lime zest until smooth.
  • Pour the filling onto the cooled base.
  • Bake for one hour until set, cool completely, then chill in the fridge for one hour.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the tin and place on a serving plate.
  • Peel and thinly slice the pineapple using a mandoline.
  • Toss the pineapple slices with the pulp and juice of the passion fruits.
  • Whisk 300ml cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Spread the cream over the cheesecake, top with the fruit mixture, and dust with icing sugar.
