Passionfruit Tofu Cheesecake


Ingredients:
250g of arrowroot biscuits
100g of butter
2 packs of silken tofu
1 cup of white sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 Passionfruit
Yellow food colouring paste


1) Preheat the oven to 175C. Break up the arrowroot biscuits into fine crumbs and melt the butter. Pour the butter over the crumbs and mix well, press this into the bottom of a cheesecake tin.

2) Cut a passionfruit in half and scoop the centre into a sieve. Use the back of a spoon to press out all of the juice from the passionfruit into a bowl.

3) Add the tofu, sugar, oil and food colouring paste to a food processor. Also add the strained passionfruit juice and mix thoroughly.

4) Spread the tofu mix over the biscuits and bake for 35-40minutes or until the top turns golden.

5) Whilst the cheesecake bakes, make the passionfruit caramel. Strain the juice of two passionfruit and set aside. Add 2tbsp of caster sugar to a pan and heat until molten and golden brown.

6) Add the passionfruit juice bit by bit, whisking constantly. As this reduces, add a knob of butter and whisk until well combine. Continue to heat this on a medium heat until the caramel coats the back of a spoon.

7) Remove the cheesecake from the oven and pour the caramel over the top. Leave to cool completely before serving.
