Method
 

  1. Crush the digestive biscuits and mix with melted butter.

  3. Dissolve the gelatine in warm water and allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Beat the cream cheese and caster sugar until smooth.
  5. Add the orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and passion fruit pulp.
  6. Whip the double cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the filling.
  7. Stir in the dissolved gelatine until fully combined.
  8. Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  10. Decorate with passion fruit pulp, orange zest, and fresh orange slices before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the smoothest texture.
  • Dissolve the gelatine completely before adding it to the filling.
  • Chill the cheesecake overnight for the cleanest slices.
  • Fresh passion fruit provides the best flavour and appearance.
  • Do not overwhip the cream, or the filling may become grainy.
  • Keep the cheesecake refrigerated until serving.
  • Decorate just before serving for the freshest presentation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
