Method

Using a either a food processor or a rolling pin, crush the biscuits into crumbs.

Add the melted butter and combine well. Pour this mixture into a prepared spring-form cake tin around 20-25cm in size, and press down firmly. Pop in the fridge to cool.

While this is cooling, add the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until nice and smooth.

In a small bowl add 1tbs of gelatine powder and 2 tbs water. Allow to dissolve for around 5 minutes until all powder is wet. Then pop in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to fully dissolve.

-
Whip the cream and fold through the mixture then pour into the base.

Smooth the top and pop in the fridge again.
-
For the topping, dissolve the 1tsp gelatin in 2 tbs water by pouring on top, waiting 5 minutes, and then microwaving for 10-15 seconds. Stir until all dissolved.
-
Add the gelatine you have dissolved into the sugar and 1/2 cup water, stirring to combine.
-
Then add the passionfruit and stir well.
-
Pour this mixture over the top of your chilled cheesecake, and then chill in the fridge again for 1-2 hours to allow jelly to set.
