Passionfruit Cheesecake with Lime

Lauren
I’ve had this recipe languishing in the notes section of my phone for literally years and Jonathan reminded me about 2 weeks ago when he said “remember you used to make that lime & passionfruit cheesecake”
So it’s been resurrected for your Christmas and festive season pleasure 🍈 
I hope you enjoy ☺️ & id appreciate any tags over the festive season so I can see you enjoying my recipes 🥰
