A soft marshmallowy pavlova base under a smooth set cheesecake, with mango and passionfruit poured over the top

There are two desserts that turn up at an Australian Christmas, and they are pavlova and cheesecake. So this is both of them, one on top of the other. A pavlova base underneath, soft and marshmallowy the way the inside of a good pavlova is, with a passionfruit cheesecake set over it, and mango and passionfruit coulis poured across the top.

The cheesecake is the cold, smooth part. Cream cheese and thick cream whipped together with passionfruit pulp through it, set rather than baked, so it stays light and cuts cleanly instead of sitting heavily after a long lunch. Passionfruit is what keeps it from being too sweet, the sourness runs right through the layer rather than appearing only at the top.

Then the coulis, which is simply fruit poured over, mango and more passionfruit, and it is where the colour comes from. Bright yellow against the white, with the seeds through it, which is what a pavlova looks like at Christmas and why it has been the dessert on that table for as long as anyone can remember.

The good part is what happens when you cut down through it. Soft meringue underneath, cold set cheesecake in the middle, sharp fruit on top, all three in one spoonful, sweet and sour and cold at once. It serves ten to twelve, it's designed to be served chilled, straight from the fridge, with fresh fruit or berries alongside if you want to round out the Christmas table further. No baking, no assembly, no pavlova anxiety.

Preparation Instructions

Defrost in the fridge. See below for direction on presentation before thawing.

Serve chilled - with the December heat, we recommend serving from the fridge.

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.

  1. Remove the lid from the packaging.
  2. Gently loosen the foil around the sides of the cheesecake, carefully pulling it away from the edges.
  3. Release the cheesecake by gently pushing upwards on the base of the packaging while supporting the cake.
  4. Prepare your serving dish and have a flat board or plate ready to assist with transferring.
  5. Carefully turn the cheesecake out by placing the board over the top of the cake and gently flipping it upside down to remove the packaging.
  6. Transfer to your serving dish by placing the dish over the base of the inverted cheesecake, then carefully flipping it back over so it is sitting the right way up.

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

Serving Size, Spice & Suggestions

🥄 Serves 10-12 (1.2kg)

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!

FAQ's

This isn't a stand-alone pavlova - it's a fluffy pavlova base topped with a smooth, set cheesecake layer, then finished with mango and passionfruit coulis. You get the crisp-and-marshmallowy texture of pavlova and the richness of cheesecake in the same slice.

No — it contains gelatine, which is used to set the cheesecake layer, so it's not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Defrost in the fridge and serve chilled - no baking or reheating needed. It's designed to be paired with fresh stonefruit or berries on the side for extra freshness against the sweetness.
