    Absolutely divine. We grow passion fruit in our yard, so I strained a half cup of pulp from five or six fruits. I also cut the sugar in the crust in half, flavor was plenty sweet, and could have added a tenth graham cracker just for volume. I also used goat cheese instead of regular cream cheese, mainly because I had a bunch already. I’d probably use goat cheese again because it all tasted so good together.

    I wish the graham cracker amount was written in cups or oz in the recipe because my graham crackers are not the same size as the ones used. Luckily I've made graham crusts before so I knew something was wrong. Watched the video and he says that it's about 5 oz. worth so I had to weigh them out and ended up using a lot more than 9! Otherwise it's a great recipe. 8 passion fruits gave me exactly a 1/2 cup of juice.
