PASSION FRUIT CHOCOLATE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160ºC fan/gas 4. In a food processor, whizz the biscuits and coconut to a fine crumb. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Spoon the mixture into the base of the cake tin and smooth with the back of a spoon. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Leave to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, melted chocolate and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the cream and lime zest into the chocolate mixture, then spoon over the biscuit base and smooth the top. Cover and chill for 3 hours.
• For the passion fruit jelly, soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Put the passion fruit pulp, reserved seeds and sugar in a small pan over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Squeeze the soaked gelatine leaves to remove excess water, then stir into the hot fruit mixture off the heat until dissolved. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then spoon on top of the chilled cheesecake base. Cover again and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• When ready to serve, run a sharp knife round the edge of the tin to release the jelly layer, then unclip the tin and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Decorate with the Lindor balls and toasted coconut flakes. .

Steps:

• To make the orange pastry, place the flour, butter, icing sugar and orange zest in a food processor. Blend together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg and whizz again until the dough comes together to form a ball. Sprinkle a work surface with flour and gently roll out the pastry until it is very thin. Carefully transfer to a deep 23cm/9in loose-bottomed fluted tart tin and line the base and sides. Press into the sides of the fluted edges and level the top. Prick the base with a fork and place in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
• Line the pastry case with non-stick baking paper and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden at the edges. Remove the paper and beans and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and lightly golden.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3.
• To make the filling, sieve the passion fruit pulp into a large bowl, discarding the seeds. Break the eggs into the bowl, then add the orange juice, cream and sugar. Beat well until combined.
• Transfer the passion fruit custard into a jug, then pour into the pastry case and carefully slide back into the oven. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the custard is just set in the middle with a very slight wobble.
• Leave to cool to room temperature, dust with a little icing sugar and serve with the cream on the side. If not eating straight away, leave to cool, then place in the fridge to chill.
