From many days now, the idea of making a cheesecake has been settling down in the back of my head. However, I was reluctant to make an ordinary cheesecake covered with the typical raspberry and strawberry coulis, so often found attached to the packages of the ingredients and on those free magazines forgotten in the seats of the underground. I was trying to find a flavour that would surprise my husband -and you guys of course-. So I remembered a few months ago I bought some mascarpone cheese to prepare a recipe, but even though it was strategically hidden in the fridge, a couple of days later I found out that half of it was gone. When I asked my other half about the other half of the cheese he guiltily enough confessed that he enjoyed it one afternoon for snack, accompanied with crackers -strangely adorable-. So I thought, since he loved it so much, why not trying out this cheesecake with mascarpone instead of conventional cream cheese and then cover it with something fantastic.. like.. lets say.. passion fruit!
Very rustic yet delicious outcome!
