Top Tip for making Passion Fruit Cheesecake Slices

When buying passionfruit select ones with a wrinkled skin as they are the ripest. It is best to use a serrated knife to cut the fruit- as the teeth will provide grip. Although passionfruit are quite pricy, it is such an intensely flavoured fruit that a little goes a long way.
