Time 9h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Oil for pan
1/2 cup diced fresh ripe mango (about 1/2 mango)
1/2 cup passion fruit juice
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Greek or drained yogurt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 large yolks, room temperature
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 cup passion fruit juice
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons sugar
Pulp and seeds from a fresh passion fruit
1/4 cup passion fruit juice
1/2 cup diced fresh mango (about 1/2 a mango)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • For the cheesecake: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Brush an 8-inch springform pan with a light coating of canola oil.
  • Puree the mango and passion fruit juice in a food processor until smooth. Add the cream cheese and continue to process until smooth. Then add the sugar, yogurt, and cornstarch, pulsing to combine. Then add the eggs, lime zest and juice and pulse to combine. Take care not to overmix the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake until the outside of the cake is set but the center is still a little loose, about 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door to let out some heat. Close door and continue to cook the cheesecake in the residual heat in the oven for 20 minutes. This gentle finish minimizes the risk of the dreaded crack in your cheesecake.
  • Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile make the topping: Put about half of the passion fruit juice and all the lime juice in a medium bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Don't stir. Set aside until the gelatin "blooms", about 1 minute. Boil the remaining passion fruit juice and all of the sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Whisk the hot juice into the gelatin mixture until smooth. Refrigerate until just begins to set, about 20 minutes. Stir in the fresh passion fruit pulp and seeds and pour over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • To make mango coulis: Puree the passion fruit juice, mango, lime juice, and sugar in a food processor.
  • Bring cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. To serve, dip a knife in warm water, wipe dry before slicing each piece. Serve with mango coulis.

COCONUT AND PASSION FRUIT POUND CAKE



Coconut and Passion Fruit Pound Cake image

This one is for my mom. It's a simple pound cake inspired by the flavors of her tropical home. True pound cake relies on the lift that comes from creaming the butter and sugar perfectly. This recipe includes a little bit of insurance in the form of baking powder. It's a great beginner cake. Easy to make yet special. In most recipes, I call for unsweetened shredded coconut, but this loaf is an exception. The sugar and moisture that comes from classic sweetened shredded coconut is important for the soft texture of this cake.

Time 3h20m

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1/4 cup passion fruit pulp and seeds (from 4 to 5 fruit)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted virgin coconut oil
3 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
  • Spread the coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the toasted coconut to a plate to cool. Keep the oven on for baking the cake.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and the passion fruit pulp and seeds.
  • With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and coconut oil in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the egg mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in 1 cup of the toasted coconut.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of toasted coconut. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour, then remove the cake from the pan and let cool completely.
