Chill it for 10 mins, then make some concentric grooves in the cream with the back of a spoon. Chill the cheesecake for about 2 hours.
Cut the passion fruit in half and scrape out the seeds. Bring 3/4 cup of passion fruit juice and 1/4 cup of sugar to the boil in a saucepan. Mix 5 tbsp of juice with the cornstarch, add it to the juice in the saucepan, and bring it back to a boil. Fold the passion fruit flesh into the thickened juice, stir well, and let it cool for about 5 mins. Spread the passion fruit sauce into the grooves on the cake and chill for another 15 mins before serving.
