Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line your springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Then, incorporate vanilla extract, sour cream, and melted white chocolate before folding in passion fruit puree.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and allow the cheesecake to cool slowly for 1 hour before removing it to room temperature.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight before serving.
- Drizzle additional passion fruit puree over the cheesecake before serving and sprinkle fresh passion fruit seeds as garnish.
- Slice and serve chilled to your guests!

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid overbaking to prevent a dry texture. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
