Recipe

Grind of 1 lemon, diced

165 ml (⅓ cup) strained passionfruit pulp

2 x 5 g gelatine sheets
3 eggs, separated
110 g (½ cup) caster sugar

250 ml (1 cup) whipping cream

Method

Freezing time: 3-4 hours or overnight

Place the diced lemon rind and passionfruit pulp in a small saucepan and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Meanwhile, soften the gelatine sheets in bowl of cold water. Remove from heat, squeeze excess water from gelatine, add and stir until dissolved.

Whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar together until pale and creamy. Fold the passionfruit mixture into the egg yolks.

Beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add a spoonful of cream and a spoonful of egg whites to the passionfruit base. Stir in until well combined; this will allow you to fold in the remaining egg whites and cream without losing their ‘air’.

Gently fold in the remaining egg whites and cream, Pipe into a ring mould and freeze refrigerate for 3–4 hours, until set. Use blow to flam around edges to unmould the mousse. Place on white chocolate crousillaint and leave for 1 hr in fridge to defrost to serving temperature.
