2 tablespoons sugar (optional)

For the Cheesecake Filling

16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)

How to Make Condensed Milk Cheesecake with Fresh Berries & Passion Fruit Topping

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Start by crushing the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place the biscuits into a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

In a bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs, melted butter, and sugar if using. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spoon or measuring cup.

Place the crust into the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined.

Blend in the sour cream and vanilla extract until silky smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.

If using lemon juice, stir it in gently.

Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top evenly.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Bake the cheesecake for 45–50 minutes, until the edges are set while the center remains slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracks and creates a creamier texture.

Remove the cheesecake and cool completely at room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.

Step 4: Add the Fruit Topping

Wash and dry the strawberries and raspberries carefully.

Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp.

Pipe or spoon whipped cream around the top edge of the cheesecake.

Arrange the strawberries evenly around the cake, then place raspberries between them for a colorful finish.

Spoon the passion fruit pulp over the center and slightly over the whipped cream.

Drizzle with berry sauce or raspberry coulis if desired.

Finish by sprinkling biscuit crumbs or crumble topping around the edges for extra texture.

Serving Tips

Serve the cheesecake well chilled for the cleanest slices.

For extra flavor, add a little lemon zest over the whipped cream before serving.

A drizzle of honey or white chocolate pairs beautifully with the fresh fruit topping.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake

Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling.

Avoid overmixing once the eggs are added to keep the cheesecake creamy.

Cooling the cheesecake slowly helps prevent cracks.

For perfect slices, wipe your knife clean between each cut.

Final Thoughts

This Condensed Milk Cheesecake with Fresh Berries & Passion Fruit Topping is rich, creamy, fruity, and beautifully refreshing all at once. The silky cheesecake filling combined with juicy berries and tropical passion fruit creates a dessert that feels luxurious but is surprisingly simple to make.

Whether you’re serving it for a celebration or simply treating yourself, this cheesecake is guaranteed to impress with every single slice.
