Had a taste of a cheesecake in a cafe over w/end, the filling was really light & fluffy (looked like the custard in a denheath custard square), it had a beauftiful passionfruit tang & wasn't overly sweet. Anyone out there got a recipe for something very similar!

donna23, have you tried doing a search here on this Trademe MB! - use cheesecake and/or passionfruit cheesecake as the keyword(s) and Last year as the Date posted option. It may be that you would find a cheesecake with a lemony filling that could have passionfruit pulp (not the sweetened jar variety) added to it to produce a cheesecake similar to that you enjoyed over the weekend, or alternatively instead of just the passionfruit pulp, maybe you could try (as the cafe may have done) using freeze-dried passionfruit powder (+ some pulp if wanting to have some seeds evident) or if all else fails, how about asking the cafe for the recipe - either directly, yourself, or through any of the magazines that do assist with such requests!
Hope that helps.:-))

This is a recipe I've shared here before. It's not a 'true' cheesecake but the filling is just as you've described so I hope you give it a try.
"I have a cheats version which isn't really a 'cheesecake' at all but that's what I called it when I started making it WAYYYY back in primary school . 1 jelly (any flavour) 1 sml yoghurt (flavour to complement the jelly) 1 sml bottle of cream, whipped
Make a biscuit base as usual. Make the jelly with only 1 cup of boiling water & allow to cool but not set. Whip cream, beat yoghurt into cream, beat cool jelly into cream/yoghurt mix & pile onto biscuit base. Set in fridge & decorate with matching fresh or tinned fruit, cream, white choc curls, . Enjoy!

You can easily make a passionfruit version from this recipe & could even add some passionfruit pulp to the mix if you want.
