METHOD

  1. Invert the base of a 23cm springform pan (base measures 22cm). Grease and line the base and side with baking paper, extending the paper 3cm above the pan edge.
  2. Beat cream, sugar, and vanilla in the small bowl of an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add sour cream. Beat until firm peaks form.
  3. Combine passionfruit and juice in a jug. Stir to break up the pulp. Arrange one-third of the biscuits over the base of the prepared pan, trimming to fit. Spoon over ½ cup passionfruit mixture. Top with half of the cream mixture and half the sliced strawberries. Repeat with another layer of biscuits, ½ cup passionfruit mixture, remaining cream mixture, and strawberries, finishing with remaining biscuits and passionfruit mixture. Refrigerate and cover overnight.
  4. To serve, remove the side of the pan and lining paper. Transfer to a serving plate. Decorate with extra passionfruit pulp and strawberries. Dust with icing sugar.

TIP: You will need 6 to 8 large passionfruit for this recipe. Try replacing orange juice with an orange flavoured liqueur.
