This passion fruit cheesecake is a lovely dessert: fresh and tangy, with a gentle sweetness that strikes the perfect balance.
It is served in individual portions and made without gelatine, so it is easy to make and can be ready in under 20 minutes.
The base is crushed digestive biscuits mixed with lime zest, butter and white chocolate, which gives a bright twist of lime and a creamy sweetness from the chocolate.
The cream cheese filling is made with fresh passion fruit juice and vanilla, and the dessert is topped with the beautiful pulp of the passion fruit.
Best of all, it can be prepared ahead and kept in the fridge, ready to serve. Wait to add the fresh passion fruit topping until just before serving, so it keeps its fresh flavour and good looks.
A wonderful dessert that works just as well for guests as for an everyday treat.
Cheesecake in glasses – Passion fruit cheesecake with white chocolate and lime
Ingredients
Biscuit base
- 175 g digestive biscuits
- 50 g butter
- 50 g white chocolate
- 1 lime, finely grated zest only
Passion fruit cream cheese filling
- 200 g full-fat cream cheese
- 250 ml whipping cream (38% fat)
- 50 ml fresh passion fruit juice (from 5-6 passion fruit)
- 50 g icing sugar
- 1/2 vanilla pod, seeds scraped out
- or
- 2 tsp vanilla sugar
Toppings
- 2-3 passion fruit, pulp only
- Fresh mint (optional)
Method
Biscuit base
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the chocolate until it has melted. Take the pan off the heat.
- Blitz the biscuits and lime zest to fine crumbs, and stir them into the butter and chocolate.
- Divide the biscuit mixture between 6 serving glasses.
Passion fruit cream cheese filling
- Scoop the pulp out of the passion fruit and put it in a mini chopper or similar. Blitz for 5-10 seconds, or until the juice has come away from the seeds, then pass it through a fine-mesh sieve. You need 50 ml, or a little more.Blitzing the pulp releases as much juice as possible, and it makes the seeds easier to sieve out.
- Put the cream cheese, cream, passion fruit juice, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl and whisk together until the mixture thickens. Rub the vanilla seeds together with a little of the icing sugar first, so they distribute more easily through the filling.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag, which is the easiest way to control it, and pipe the filling on top of the biscuit base. Make sure it reaches right to the edges of the glasses, so the topping doesn’t run through.
Passion fruit cheesecake
- Make a small hollow in the top of each one and fill it with fresh passion fruit pulp. Let it spill a little over the edges – it makes them look more decorative.Garnish with fresh mint, if you like.

Jeg lavede den og desto mere jeg piskede desto mere flydende blev den, det endte med at være mere suppe end creme
Hej Anna
Ej hvor mærkeligt, det har jeg aldrig prøvet – og har lavet et hav af denne type cheesecake.
Så ærgerligt at de ikke lykkedes for dig<3
Warm wishes, Dianna
Hej Diana. Jeg står og skal lave riiiigtig mange desserter til en fest vi skal holde og havde tænkt mig at lave denne som en større kage istedet – men kan den mon fryses?
Tak for altid at lave de lækreste opskrifter:-)
Hej Pernille
Da der ikke er husblas i, vil den ikke kunne holde formen hvis du tænker at lave den i springform – så skal den laves i et fad:)
Men tænker absolut sagtens den kan fryses:)
Har en anden cheesecake, med husblas – samme type ingredienser. Måske det er den du skal kigge på? Bare søg på cheesecake passion – så kommer den frem:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan man lave den dagen i forvejen eller er det bedst at lave på dagen og stille på køl?
Ser lækker ud
Kan den laves som en hel kage i springform? (Str. ?) og evt. med citron i stedet for?
Hej Susanne
Tusind tak 🙂
Skal den laves i springform skal du følge denne opskrift, med husblas 🙂 su kan undlade lakrids i bunden hvis du ikke bryder dig om det 🙂

Den var super nem at lave
Manglet dog lidt creme.
Sker der noget hvis jeg kom til at putte den friske passionsfrugt på dagen før brug
Hej Ellen
Super dejligt at høre:)
Nej slet ikke. Det kan godt løbe lidt igennem cremen i kanterne, hvis den ikke når helt ud i siderne – men det er kun udseendet 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan man bruge mørk/mælke chokolade i stedet for hvid chokolade?
Hej Emilie
Det synes jeg desværre ikke passer til passionsfrugten og lime.
Så hellere undlade chokoladen, det kan du sagtens:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan man lave den dagen før eller om formiddagen (til brug om aftenen)
Hej Jannie
Det kan du sagtens gøre ja – men vent med at toppe med frisk passionsfrugt til inden servering 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
De smager så godt, er vild med limen i
Hvor kan man købe dessertglassene henne?
