Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup passion fruit juice (from about 4–6 passion fruits)
- 16 ounces (454 grams) heavy cream
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
Acidic Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Optional Garnishes:
- Coconut yogurt
- Whipped cream
- Sweetened passion fruit
Instructions
- Slice passion fruits in half and strain the pulp and seeds through a fine-mesh sieve, collecting the vibrant juice while discarding the seeds.
- Pour heavy cream and sugar into a saucepan, gently heating over medium temperature until sugar completely dissolves and mixture becomes smooth.
- Allow the cream mixture to gently simmer for approximately 3 minutes, maintaining a consistent low bubbling without aggressive boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and incorporate fresh passion fruit juice and tangy lime juice, stirring thoroughly to create a uniform, silky texture.
- Carefully distribute the luxurious cream mixture into pre-chilled serving vessels, ensuring an even distribution.
- Let the dessert rest at ambient temperature to gradually cool and stabilize its structure.
- Transfer the possets to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the dessert to set into a delicate, creamy consistency.
- Prior to serving, enhance the possets with a dollop of coconut yogurt, a swirl of whipped cream, or a drizzle of sweetened passion fruit pulp for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Select ripe, deep purple passion fruits for the most intense, vibrant flavor that will enhance the dessert’s overall taste profile.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer when extracting passion fruit juice to ensure a smooth, seed-free texture without losing precious pulp.
- Chill serving glasses or ramekins beforehand to help the posset set faster and create a more stable, creamy consistency.
- Consider dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream or plant-based cream for those with lactose intolerance or following vegan dietary preferences.
