I made this tropical cheesecake for my friends engagement party and I have never seen someone so happy, thrilled to be getting married and also in love with this dessert! The ingredients are simple and the recipe is straightforward, all you need is some time, ingredients like fresh passionfruit and few handy kitchen tools (vitamix, food processor, springform pan).
You can also add other adaptogenic herbs into the crust. If you want to energize your brain, reach for Lion's Mane. If you want to soothe your nervous system add some Ashwagandha! I choose to use Yin Power in the filling. I love this blend of medicinal mushrooms and adaptogenic roots! Our society is very Yang in nature and we need all of the help we can get to balance that with Yin, so why not create that balance in a delicious and nutritious way?
