Korang suka makan passionfruit? Aku suka, tapi minum buat jus le lah…. tak pernah pulak guna sebagai bahan dalam kek atau kuih. Kebetulan hari tu masa aku pergi pasar terjumpa buah passionfruit ni atau markisa, beli lah dalam 3 kilo… Banyak? Tak juga… bila dah belah and perah jus, dapat lah dalam 300ml. Tak banyak mana pun…. Bau dia heaven on earth, sangat suka… rasa masam-masam manis. Dalam aku merayap-rayap ke blog orang, terjumpa satu resipi masak cheesecake guna passionfruit, so aku pun dengan penuh semangat beli cream cheese and try jugak….(kenapa lah cream cheese kat malaysia ni mahal ek? aku beli 1/2 kg RM16/-, mahal siot!)

Aku rasa macam malas nak type recipe cheesecake tu, copy paste je lah…

OK… aku tak pakai base yang disarankan sebab aku kan anal, suka melawan cakap… aku guna sponge cake base and aku tak jumpa sour cream so aku sub dengan natural yoghurt. Sedap juga… tapi malangnya aku tak suka lah bila passionfruit ni di campur dengan cheese… macam kureeng gitu. Maybe sebab passionfruit filling tu aku masak kurang manis, tu yang buat rasa dia kurang menghairah kan tekak aku. Rugi jek cream cheese…. ISH!
