Ingredients

  • 180 g vanilla cookies
  • 100 g butter
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder (equivalent to 3 leaves)
  • 150 g original philladelphia cream cheese (or any other soft cream cheese)
  • 12 cup sugar
  • 4 passion fruit
  • 1 (1/2 liter) can evaporated milk
  • 3 ounces bitter chocolate

Method

  • Put the cookies in the blender and crush them.
  • You don't want them as a fine powder because they will stick to the container later on.
  • Melt the butter gently in a microwave.
  • 30 seconds should do the trick for most of it and the rest will melt with the gentle heat from the container.
  • Mix with the cookies very well.
  • Don't be tempted to add more butter - you don' t want a dough.
  • You just want the cookies to stick together.
  • Cover a pyrex container approximately 11x7 inches and 1 - 1.5 inches deep with the base you just made.
  • For the filling: Dissolve the powder gelatin as directed in the package,.
  • Boil the passionfruit in plenty of water and then cut them in halves.
  • Use a colander to catch the seeds and keep the juices from inside the passionfruit in a cup.
  • You should have at least 3/4 cup of it.
  • Keep the seeds.
  • In the blender mix the juice of the passionfruits - but make sure you leave at least 2 tablespoons of juice for decoration, the evaporated milk, the sugar, the gelatin and the cream cheese.
  • Once the blend is smooth and homogenous, pour over the pyrex container and put in the fridge.
  • For an extra kick you can squeeze a lime's juice into the blend.
  • It will give it a bit more of tartness over the passion fruit flavour.
  • Once gelatinised (wait a minimum of two hours), pour over gently the remaining passionfruit juice, which should look a bright yellow/golden.
  • Pour it in zigzag or swrils or just however you think it'll look nice.
  • Add some of the seeds on top if you'd like, and then grate a bit of chocolate to finish.
