Paolo's Christmas Pavlova Cheesecake with Mango & Passionfruit

This dessert can be removed from the packaging whilst frozen so you can present it on a serving dish rather than in the foil container.

To present your cheesecake on your own serving dish, please follow the steps below while the cheesecake is still frozen. 
This will help it retain its shape and prevent damage during removal.

Whilst frozen (the day before you will serve this):

1. Get your serving dish out and place it on the bench
2. Have a flat board like a chopping board or a platter within reach
3. Remove the lid from the packaging.
4. Gently loosen the foil around the sides of the cheesecake, carefully pulling it away from the edges.
5. Release the cheesecake by gently pushing upwards on the base of the packaging while supporting the cake.
6. Place the flat board over the top of the cheesecake and flip it upside down to carefully turn the cheesecake out 
7. Remove the foil from the cake while it is upside down
8. Place you serving dish on the base of the inverted cheesecake, then carefully flip it back over so it is sitting the right way up.
9. Gently cover with cling wrap, you can use toothpicks inserted into the cake to keep the wrap up and away from the dessert
10. Place the dessert in the fridge to defrost
11. To serve, you can top with extra fruit of your choice, slice and enjoy!
12. Serve chilled - with the December heat, we recommend serving from the fridge.

Important: Always transfer the cheesecake while frozen, as attempting to remove it once thawed may cause it to crack or lose its shape.

If you don't have time and want to serve from the foil container, simply defrost in the fridge overnight.

Ingredients: Egg whites, sugar, cornflour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cream (milk), gelatine, cream cheese (milk), passionfruit pulp, mango coulis.

CONTAINS: MILK, EGGS, SULPHITES

We like to serve ours with some whipped cream and fresh diced mango, berries or passionfruit on top!

Serving tips: this cheesecake stays fresh on a marble/stone base in the heat. If you place the base with the cheesecake in the fridge before serving, the stone will stay cold, keeping your pavlova cheesecake fresh and cool!

I was born and raised in Italy, where mealtimes shape your entire day- and your life.

Breakfast is spent planning lunch, lunch is spent discussing dinner, and every meal is a moment the whole family religiouslygathers around the table to talk, laugh, and connect.

Food isn’t just eaten; it’s celebrated. And that’s what elevates Italian food beyond ingredients - it creates memories so powerful that a single taste can take you back 30 years in an instant.
