Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 ml passionfruit pulp (fresh or canned)
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 10 g gelatin powder
- 50 ml cold water
- 4 egg yolks
- 250 ml whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300 ml heavy cream (for whipping)
- 2 tbsp optional passionfruit pulp (for garnish)
- 4 optional mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the passionfruit pulp and 50g of the granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not boil. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 50g of granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
In another saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boil. Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Be careful not to let it boil.
Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Next, stir in the passionfruit mixture and vanilla extract. Let it cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Once the custard mixture is cool, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the custard mixture in three batches, taking care not to deflate the cream.
Pour the mixture evenly into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
To serve, garnish each dessert with a little extra passionfruit pulp and a mint leaf, if desired.
