Ingredients

  • 200 g digestive biscuits, finely crushed
  • 100 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 300 g fresh mango puree
  • 100 ml passionfruit pulp, strained or with seeds
  • 250 g full -fat cream cheese, softened
  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 10 g unflavored gelatin powder
  • 60 ml cold water
  • 200 ml heavy whipping cream, chilled

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  • Combine crushed biscuits and melted butter in a bowl; press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and refrigerate.
  • In a small ramekin, sprinkle gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and aerated.
  • Whisk the mango puree and passionfruit pulp into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until completely dissolved; stir a small amount of the fruit mixture into the gelatin to temper it, then stir the gelatin into the main bowl.
  • In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango and passionfruit mixture until no white streaks remain.
  • Pour the filling over the biscuit base and smooth the surface with an offset spatula.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set, before lifting from the pan and slicing into 12 bars.
