  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g guavas (chopped and peeled)
  • 80 g granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 300 g Tennis biscuits
  • 150 g unsalted butter (melted)
  • 700 g cream cheese
  • 250 g castor sugar
  • 4 extra-large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200 ml whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. To make the guava compote, combine chopped guavas, granulated sugar, and lime juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the guavas soften and the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
  3. For the cheesecake base, crush the Tennis biscuits and mix them with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.
  4. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and castor sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and whipping cream.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the biscuit base in the springform pan.
  6. Bake for approximately 50 minutes in a water bath to prevent cracking.
  7. Once baked, let it cool completely before refrigerating for several hours or overnight.
  8. Top with guava compote just before serving.
