Passion fruit possets


This has got to be the world’s easiest and exotic dessert!
Your guests will think you’ve slaved away making it, so go along with them.
Do look up my lemon and lime posset too, it’s a killer. This one is the tropical version for the passion fruit season.

Serves 4 people

1/4 cup passion fruit juice. (Do this by pushing the passion fruit pulp through a sieve allowing the juice to come through, and discarding the seeds.)
16 oz heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Pour the cream and sugar into a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium-high heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, stirring and taking care not to let it boil over.
Remove from the heat and stir in the passion fruit and lime juices. let it sit for 10 minutes then divide the mixture between 4 glass dishes or ramekins.
Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.
Before serving you can garnish them with some passionfruit pulp sweetened with sugar or some passion fruit ice cream to really go over the top!
