Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) Cheesecake Bars¶
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 pack Graham crackers
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 2 eggs
- 2 8-oz packs of cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup lilikoi juice
- 3 (?) Tbsp cornstarch
- ~1/3 cup sugar
Note
My first attempt used this tart crust, and this cheesecake tart. It was ok, but I like the Graham cracker crust much better. I’d have to compare the two lilikoi toppings since I really like both on their own, but the one currently in this recipe seemed to work well with cheesecake bars. I’d be curious to try one of the cheesecake recipes with sour cream. I was happy with this one (if I remembered the amounts correctly), so I don’t think it needs to be changed, but it’s also the part of this recipe I’m the least certain about since I don’t have a go-to cheesecake recipe. I also may be completely misremembering how long it cooked for and the temperature, so that culd be investigated more.
