Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Sieve
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 4 passion fruit
  • 1 cup heavy cream *double cream for UK readers
  • ½ cup caster sugar
  • mint leaves *optional, to garnish

Instructions

  • Scoop the seeds out of the passion fruit, reserving the seeds from one of them for decoration.
  • Add the passionfruit to a blender and blend for 5-10 seconds.
  • Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the passion fruit pulp through the sieve. If needed, press the mixture with a wooden spoon to encourage the juice to run through the sieve into the bowl. Discard the seeds left in the sieve.
  • Pour the cream into a saucepan along with the sugar. Heat gently, and stir so the sugar dissolves. Bring to a high simmer (not a hard boil), stirring continuously for two minutes.
  • Take off the heat and pour in the passion fruit juice. Stir to mix through.
  • Immediately pour the cream mixture into a jug and then pour into your ramekins (or serving bowl or glass). Leave to cool for ten minutes at room temperature, then place in the fridge for at least two hours to set.
  • Garnish with the reserved passion fruit seeds and a few mint leaves.

Notes

  • Discard the seeds from the passion fruit after blended. You only want to use the juice left in the bowl.
  • Pour the posset mixture immediately into your jug and then into your ramekins. It will thicken very quickly, so it's best to do this process right away.
  • Be sure to leave the possets to set for at least 2 hours in the fridge before serving.
