Prep Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients
  • 400 ml double cream
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 4 large passion fruits cut in half and pulp removed (approx.100ml)
  • 1 small lime zest and a generous squeeze of juice
Instructions
  • Strain 100ml of the passion fruit pulp into a jug* then add the lime zest together with a squeeze of the juice. Set aside. *Reserve any remaining pulp for decoration or perhaps a passion fruit martini?
  • Combine the cream and sugar in a medium saucepan set over low heat. Stir for 2 mins to dissolve the sugar then heat for a further 2 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and pour the cream mixture into the jug containing the passion fruit and lime juice mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Divide the posset mixture evenly between the 8 passion fruit cups* or alternatively into glasses or ramekins, in which case choose the size/number according to your portion preference. In either case, be as efficient as possible as the mixture tends to thicken fairly quickly.
  • Leave to cool slightly and then chill for 2-3 hrs or overnight.

Notes

When nearly ready to serve, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the posset mixture and then brûlée with a kitchen blow torch. Place the posset filled passion fruits back in the refrigerator for a further five minutes before artfully arranging in individual bowls.
(*If you choose the passion fruit cups option then you might have a little mixture left over which can be poured into a ramekin for you, the host, to enjoy when everyone has gone home.)
