I loved the simplicity of the idea, but of course I couldn’t resist putting my own spin on it. This version blends passionfruit with farmer’s cheese (for extra protein and structure), dairy-free Greek yogurt, and a little honey or maple syrup. Instead of Biscoff cookies, I use Simple Mills Lemon Sweet Thins, which soften overnight and turn the whole thing into a bright, creamy, scoopable icebox cheesecake. It’s tangy, lightly sweet, and unbelievably refreshing. [40 Dairy & Gluten Free Desserts](https://daniellewalker.substack.com/t/dessert) #### Passion fruit I’m a little embarrassed to admit this, but I only ate a real passionfruit for the first time last year. After we moved into our new neighborhood, Kezia started riding her bike around and collecting the fallen ones from vines that had grown over neighbors’ fences. I had eaten passionfruit-flavored desserts before, but had never actually cut one open myself. We quickly learned that the more wrinkled they become, the sweeter they are. Soon I was adding them to everything and made batch after batch of my lemon curd with passionfruit juice last summer. They’re not quite back in season here yet, but I found a great bag of frozen passionfruit at Sprouts, which works perfectly in this recipe.

Those approaches allow certain cultured dairy foods because the fermentation process breaks down much of the lactose and introduces beneficial bacteria, making them easier to digest for many people working to heal the gut. Farmer’s cheese is cultured milk that drains off much of the whey. **[I used it in the sauce in this recent Buffalo Chicken Burger reel too\!](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVcdHzYCZjI/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==)** > I love using it in recipes like this because it blends incredibly smooth while adding structure, **probiotics** and **protein**. It’s also a lot more mild in taste, and **WAY lower in lactose** than cottage cheese. The protein helps the cheesecake thicken and set overnight, while the tangy flavor and live cultures pair beautifully with the bright passionfruit. It’s a simple ingredient that quietly does a lot of work here. And the best part of this recipe? You mix it in five minutes and let the refrigerator do the rest. Enjoy\!
