This passion fruit recipe with strawberries is a beautifully refreshing dessert that's quite simple to make. Simon Hulstone from The Elephant in Torquay poaches the strawberries in elderflower cordial for a fantastic flavour combination. You may choose to remove the passion fruit crème from the mould to serve, but the summer dessert is just as delicious in the ramekin
Method
1.
For the passion fruit crèmes, Preheat the oven to 120ºC/Gas mark 1
2.
Put the cream, juice and wine into a pan and bring to a light boil, then allow to cool
3.
Mix the sugar with 1 whole egg and 4 egg yolks. Pour the double cream mix over the eggs and whisk to combine
4.
Pour the mixture into 8 ramekins and place into a deep oven tray with enough water to come halfway up the sides. Cook in the oven for 15–20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes
5.
Remove from the oven, then leave for 10 minutes before placing in the fridge and chilling for 4 hours
6.
Just before taking the crèmes out, make the elderflower-poached strawberries by pouring warm elderflower cordial over the diced strawberries
7.
Sprinkle some passion fruit seeds over the top of the passion fruit crème (either in or out of their ramekins) and serve with the elderflower-poached strawberries
