Ingredients

  • 300ml double cream
  • 80g caster sugar

Method

  • STEP 1

    Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water. Meanwhile, halve 4 of the passion fruits and scoop out the seeds and pulp.

  • STEP 2

    Mix the milk and cream in a bowl, then pour half into a pan and warm over a low heat. Tip in the caster sugar and the passion fruit seeds and pulp, and stir until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat.

    Strain the liquid through a sieve into a jug and stir in the rest of the milk mixture. Pour into 4 moulds and chill for 4 hours or overnight until set.

  • STEP 5

    Halve the rest of the passion fruits and mix the seeds and pulp with the icing sugar. Push through a sieve into a bowl, then add 1 tbsp of seeds caught in the sieve. Taste and mix in a little more icing sugar if it needs sweetening.

  • STEP 6

    Turn out the panna cottas by briefly dipping the bases of the moulds in hot water. Spoon over the passion fruit sauce to serve.
