Ingredients


  • 400ml double cream
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 5 passionfruits hulled (save some for decoration)
  • 20 ml - 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method



1. Whisk by hand until soft peaks


2. Put the mixture inside the half passionfruit shells - set in fridge for 1 hour


3. Top with raspberries and some passionfruit seeds… and serve.

Baker's Notes & Top Tips!


1. Use ripe passionfruits - ripe ones are wrinkly and heavy for their size, with more pulp and a better sweetness/tartness balance.


2. Don't over-whip the cream - you're aiming for soft peaks, not stiffness. If over-whipped, the texture can go grainy or split when setting.


3. Chill the shells before filling - optional, but a quick 10 minute chill can help the mixture start setting faster and keeps presentation tidy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to strain the passionfruit pulp?

No - the seeds add some crunch and look beautiful. However if you do prefer a smooth texture, you can strain them out before mixing.

Do I need to whip the cream by hand?

Not necessarily - you can use an electric whisk if preferred, but keep a close eye on it to avoid over-whipping. You're looking for soft, pillowy peaks, not firm or stiff ones.

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

Fresh is best - it adds brightness, and adds just enough acidity to help balance the sweetness and support the texture.
