Instructions
- Combine the fruit puree with sugar in a small bowl and set it over the stove.
- Cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves well.
- Dissolve the gelatine powder in in a small steel or aluminium bowl. Make sure the gelatine powder is sprinkled on the surface of the water so it is not lumpy.
- Place the bowl containing the gelatine mixture over a pot of hot water. Stir until the gelatine powder becomes completely dissolved.
- Once the gelatine is completely dissolved, mix it with the passion fruit puree mixture.
- Whip the cream until it becomes light and airy (80% fluffy). Do not over whip the cream as the texture will become dry and lumpy.
- Combine the whipped cream to the gelatine and fruit puree mixture and gently fold in with a plastic spatula.
- Spoon the combined mixture into a piping bag. Pipe the mixture into a glass container up to 1/3 parts of the glass. Place the glasses with the piped mixture into the fridge and let it cool.
- Dissolve the gelatine powder in water. Sprinkle the gelatine powder over the top of the water so that it does not form lumps.
- Beat the egg yolk and sugar together until the mixture turns a pale yellow.
- Heat the milk together with the vanilla essence. Keep the flame size small. Add in the egg and sugar mixture and keep stirring well to avoid cooking the eggs and forming lumps.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Whip the cream until it becomes light and airy (80% fluffy). Do not over whip the cream as the texture will become dry and lumpy.
- Combine the whipped cream with the milk and egg mixture. Fold gently using a plastic spatula.
