Add the eggs, one at a time and continue mixing until the mixture is well blended.
Add the passion fruit pulp and continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the sour cream and beat for another 5 minutes.
Pour the filling into the Springform or Pie pan and bake at 325°F in the oven for 45 minutes. It might still jiggle a bit.
