This no bake passion fruit cheesecake is made with a Golden Oreo crust, creamy cheesecake filling and a gorgeous tangy passion fruit topping.

This passion fruit cheesecake is simply wonderful! The sweet and tangy passion fruit topping is the perfect complement to the creamy cheesecake and crunchy Golden Oreo crust.
It’s also so easy to make, though note that I didn’t say quick. It’s best to make it the day before you need it, so that your cheesecake can set, and your topping can cool and thicken in the fridge and then you simply assemble and serve. So basically, it’s the perfect make-ahead dessert.
Passion fruit is really a wonderful fruit. It’s super popular in South America and the Southern Hemisphere (known as Granadilla in South Africa) and available year-round in the USA.
And if you love a good no-bake cheesecake then you’ll also love our delicious biscoff cheesecake and Golden Oreo cheesecake too.

Ingredient Notes
Passion fruits – should be ripe and wrinkled. Passion fruits are ripe when the skin gets all wrinkled. They may have different color skins depending on the variety, so the main thing you’re looking for is for them to be nice and wrinkled. They do ripen within a few days so if you buy unripe passion fruits then no worries, just wait for them to get all wrinkled and they’ll be ready to go.
Golden Oreo cookies – I love Golden Oreo cookies to make a cheesecake base because they are quite neutral flavored so the flavors don’t compete with the cheesecake or the topping, but they create a beautifully textured crust. You will use the whole cookie, there is no need to remove the centers.
Lemon juice – should ideally be freshly squeezed though bottled lemon juice will also work fine.
Cream cheese – should be firm brick-style cream cheese like Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Don’t use soft cream cheese from a tub.
Heavy cream – helps with creating the structure for the cheesecake filling. If you’re outside of the USA then use a thickened cream or whipping cream.
Sour cream – should be full fat for the best taste and texture.
How To Make Passion Fruit Cheesecake
Full instructions and measurements can always be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
Springform Pan:
Flip the base of an 8-inch round springform pan so that there is no lip on the bottom of the pan.
Spray it with non-stick spray and line the bottom with a square sheet of parchment paper and clip it in. There is no need to trim the parchment paper to fit. Simply place the square sheet of parchment over the bottom of your springform pan and clip in the sides.
Then line the sides of the springform with strips of parchment paper. This is optional, if you just use non stick spray it usually works fine, but if you also line the sides with strips of parchment then it is really foolproof and the cheesecake won’t stick at all.
Golden Oreo Crust:
Add Golden Oreo cookies to your food processor and process them into crumbs.
