Chocolate
House
I have a passion fruit tree in my backyard and it pours
passion fruit on the ground every day this time of the year. I have given
passion fruit to many people I know and to school staff but it is still raining
passion fruit in my backyard so I decided to make a dessert with passion fruit
and chocolate. Believe me it is a combination made in heaven. It turned out to
be light and delicious. Not too rich but still a mouth-watering dessert.
Makes: 4 to 6 ramekins depending on the size
Pudding:
2/3 cup cornflour
3 cups full cream milk
1/3 cup sugar
100g white chocolate
7 passion fruits
Sauce:
250 ml of thickening cream
100 g of white chocolate
6 passion fruits
Pudding
steps:
Put 1 cup of milk in a sauce pan, add the cornflour and in
very low heat stir it until simmer. Add the other 2 cups of milk and stir until
it starts to boil. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Cut 5 passion fruits in
half, scoop out the seeds and blend it in a blender for 1 minute only. Put the
blended passionfruit through a sieve, that way separating the seeds from the
passionfruit juice, stir passionfruit, sugar and 100 g of white chocolate in a
bowl.
Prepare the ramekins by placing plastic wrap covering the
inside of each one. Try to make it as smooth as possible. Pour the mixture in
the ramekins and put them in the fridge for about 2 hours or until set.
Take the puddings out of the ramekins. Put a small dessert
plate on top of ramekin and turn it upside down. Remove the plastic wrap from
pudding.
Sauce:
Put cream in a microwave safe dish and warm it up for 1
minute. Add 100 g of chocolate chopped in small pieces and heat it up for
another minute. Mix cream and white chocolate until chocolate has melted and
sauce is smooth. Blend 5 passion fruits in a blender and press through a sieve
to eliminate seeds. Add blended passionfruit to white cream. Cut the last
passionfruit and add the seeds to the mixture. Pour sauce over pudding and
serve.
Because passion fruit is a fruit native to Brazil I will write it
in Portuguese - Bom Apetite!
