Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole passion fruits
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp and seeds into a fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl. Use a spoon to press the pulp through the strainer, collecting the juice in the bowl. You should obtain about 1/2 cup of passion fruit juice.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the passion fruit juice, monk fruit sweetener, and water. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and continue to stir until the butter is melted and well combined.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture, whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Continue to whisk for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and sea salt.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more monk fruit sweetener, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. It can be served warm or chilled according to preference.
