📝 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

1 cup (240 ml) passion fruit pulp (fresh or frozen, thawed)
1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: crushed biscuits or sponge cake for layering

👩‍🍳 How to Make Passion Fruit Cream Dessert

1️⃣ Prepare the Passion Fruit

If using fresh passion fruit, scoop out the pulp and strain half of it to reduce seeds (optional). Keep some seeds for garnish if desired.

2️⃣ Whip the Cream

In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

3️⃣ Mix the Base

In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit pulp, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended.

4️⃣ Fold Gently

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the passion fruit mixture using a spatula. Fold gently to keep the mixture airy and light.

5️⃣ Assemble

Spoon into serving glasses or dessert cups. For extra texture, layer with crushed biscuits or small cubes of sponge cake.

6️⃣ Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up slightly.

🌟 Optional Toppings

Fresh passion fruit pulp
Toasted coconut flakes
White chocolate shavings
Mint leaves
Fresh mango slices

💡 Tips for the Perfect Texture

Chill your mixing bowl before whipping cream.
Taste the passion fruit first — some are more tart than others. Adjust sweetness accordingly.
For a firmer texture, you can dissolve 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin in warm water and mix it into the base before folding in the cream.
