Prepare the Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter, mixing until well combined. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown, then allow to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese while beating on low speed until fully incorporated and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, pour heavy whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks form, around 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, starting with a small amount to lighten it, then gradually incorporating the rest.
- Pour in passion fruit puree and lemon juice, combining until uniform in color and consistency.
- Pour the creamy filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
- When ready to serve, use a warm knife to cut clean slices and top with fresh passion fruit if desired.

Notes
For best results, refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. Using soft cream cheese will help avoid lumps in the filling.
