Place the trodden cookies in a bowl and mix well with the butter. Dump the cookie mixture into a round, removable container and crush them so that they evenly cover the entire bottom. Book.

For the filling:

in a bowl, soak the gelatine sheets until they fluff and soften.

In a pot heat the passion fruit pulp, without letting it boil. Remove from the heat, add the sugar to the juice and wait for it to dissolve. Squeeze the gelatine, add and stir until completely diluted. It’s important that jelly doesn’t boil. Set aside and wait for it to cool down a bit.

In another bowl and with the help of an electric mixer, beat the cream. In another bowl, stir in the cream cheese until it is free of lumps.

Add part of the cheese mixture to the gelatin to temper the mixture. This is important, because if the hot gelatin is added to the mixture, it hardens immediately and the dough will not be homogeneous. Add the rest of the cheese mixture and mix well taking care that everything is well integrated.

With the help of a spatula, add the whipped cream in several batches and mix with enveloping movements. A homogeneous and bright mass should remain.

Pour the mixture into the pan, over the cookie base and spread well. Tap it against the kitchen counter so there are no air bubbles left in the dough.

Bring the cake to the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours until hardened. It usually prepares overnight.
