Paradise Cheesecake

🌴 Paradise Cheesecake (Guava – Passion Fruit – Lime)

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

• ½ cup melted butter

For the three fruit cheesecake layers:
(Approx. 1 cup cheesecake per layer, plus glaze)

• 2×8 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

• Separate fruit purées:

  • ~⅓ cup guava purée

  • ~⅓ cup passion fruit juice or purée

  • ~⅓ cup lime juice (optionally mixed with some zest for aroma)

For the glazes:

• ¼ cup of each fruit puree (guava, passion fruit, lime)

• 1–2 tbsp each sugar (to taste)

• ½ tsp cornstarch or gelatin to thicken (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Crust

1. Mix graham crumbs and melted butter.

2. Press into the bottom of a 9‑inch springform pan. Chill while preparing layers.

2. Make Cheesecake Base

1. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla.

2. Fold in whipped cream until light and airy.

3. Divide & Flavor Layers

1. Split cheesecake base into three equal bowls.

2. Gently fold guava purée into one, passion fruit into the second, and lime juice (plus zest) into the third.

3. Layer them in the chilled crust in order: guava → passion fruit → lime, smoothing each layer before adding the next.

4. Chill to Set

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

5. Fruit Glazes

1. In small pans, gently warm each fruit purée with sugar. Add a touch of cornstarch or gelatin to thicken, if desired.

2. Cool slightly, then carefully spoon or pour each glaze over the matching cheesecake layer (you may chill slightly between glazes for clean separation).

6. Garnish & Serve

Silky whipped cream along the rim and edible flowers or fruit slices (guava, passion fruit seeds or lime wedges) add a festive finish.

Tips for Success

• Use well‑drained or thick purées to avoid watery layers.

• For clean fruit flavor separation, use chilled layers before glazing.

• Choose firm whip peaks to maintain airy structure.

• Prefer no‑bake? Stir in ½ tsp gelatin to each flavored layer if you’d like extra-set without firing up the oven.

🍍 Variation Options

• Tropical pineapple-lime: swirl pineapple purée into one layer for extra flair.

• Mango passion fruit: replace the guava layer with mango for a rich, golden twist—like a tropical paradise mango cheesecake
