Passionfruit Ice Box Cake
The Passionfruit Ice Box Cake is a no-bake layered dessert featuring tangy passionfruit-sweetened cream cheese and mascarpone mixture alternated with crisp cookies. The passionfruit coulis adds bright tropical acidity that balances the rich, creamy filling. Chilling the dessert allows the cookies to soften slightly, melding flavors into a refreshing, smooth cake perfect for warm weather or light dessert occasions.

Ingredients
- 1 cup passionfruit pulp (approximately 10 passionfruit) + more for serving
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
For the ice box cake
- 2 cups (500g) cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup (250g) mascarpone room temperature
- 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup lemon juice fresh
- 200 g (7oz) cookies
Instructions
- Simmer the passionfruit pulp, sugar, water and lemon juice in a small saucepan for 10 minutes until reduced and syrupy (the sauce should coat the back of a spoon). Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Whip together the cream cheese, mascarpone, condensed milk and lemon juice. Stir in half of the passionfruit coulis.
- Line a loaf pan with two layers of plastic wrap. Add a few spoonfuls of cream mixture and swirl in two spoonfuls of passionfruit coulis. Add a layer of cookies then repeat until you've used all the cream and coulis. Finish with a layer of cookies.
- Add a layer of plastic wrap to the top and fold in the overhanging plastic. Place in the fridge and allow to chill for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
- Remove from the fridge then remove the top layer of plastic. Invert onto a serving plate or board then carefully remove the loaf pan and plastic.
- Top with fresh passionfruit and mint then slice and serve.
