Passion fruit Possets

Passion fruit Possets

I discovered possets only recently, when I made a Lemon and Lavender version for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. I had never even heard of possets before, but when I read the recipe, I knew I would love them. It’s an English dessert that is perfect for tea time. Possets are quite similar to panna…

 Passion fruit Béarnaise Sauce

Passion fruit Béarnaise Sauce

This month, the Daring Cooks got a little saucy! Jenni from the Gingered Whisk taught us the basics of how to make the five mother-sauces and encouraged us to get creative with them, creating a wide variety of delicious, fresh sauces in our very own kitchens. I was really thrilled by this challenge!  I make some sauces…

Verrine Fraicheur

Verrine Fraicheur

Today’s dish is a very quick recipe.  Going through my Visual Archive, I have realised that I do not have many breakfast recipes on the blog.  I guess the main reason is because Italians are not big on breakfast.  In fact, we mostly have coffee (or cappuccino) and a croissant or cookies.  I personally just…

PINEAPPLE AND PASSION FRUIT JAM

If you follow Manu’s Menu, you already know that my family and I have recently returned from a holiday in French Polynesia (Tahiti).  Both in my travel diary and in my review of Hilton Moorea, I have told you about the amazing jam we tasted while we were there.  Moorea actually has some of the…

Mango and Passion fruit Cocktail

MANGO AND PASSION FRUIT COCKTAIL

Today I am sharing with you the recipe for a tropical and yummy sweet cocktail made with Mango and Passion fruit.  I actually made this last year for the first time when my friend Anna was visiting us from Italy.  We cooked a Thai inspired dinner together and this was our drink for the evening. …

White Chocolate Passion fruit Truffles

WHITE CHOCOLATE PASSION FRUIT TRUFFLES

I told you I would not forget about you!!  So here I am with a sweet tropical recipe: White Chocolate Passion Fruit Truffles!  I love passion fruit and I think it goes very well with chocolate, especially the white kind, as its slightly tart flavour combines perfectly with the sweetness of white chocolate!  These truffles…

Passion fruit Curd and Lime Tarts

PASSION FRUIT CURD AND LIME TARTS

I had some pasta frolla dough and some Passion fruit Curd sitting in my freezer and I could not wait to use them up… together!  You see, pasta frolla is the Italian pie crust that we use to make crostata or simple cookies.  So the pairing was really very easy.  I just cooked the tarts…

Banana, Coconut and Passion Fruit Smoothie

BANANA, COCONUT AND PASSION FRUIT SMOOTHIE

Lately I have been experimenting quite a bit with smoothies and shakes.  The truth is, I have been left with some ripe fruits that needed to be used and I wanted to make something light and healthy with it.  Besides, I always find that smoothies are a great way to get my fussy children to…

Vanilla Panna Cotta with Passion Fruit Coulis

VANILLA PANNA COTTA WITH PASSION FRUIT COULIS

Today’s recipe is a delicious twist on a classic Italian dessert.  The base is a simple and evergreen vanilla panna cotta (a great addition to any home chef skill set), but I think the passion fruit coulis on the top is the best part and it gives it a very exotic touch.  I also love…

Mango and Passion fruit Macarons

MANGO AND PASSION FRUIT MACARONS

And here it goes… another way to use that delicious Passion fruit Curd you have in the fridge!  I have made my share of macarons in the last few months, but this was the first time I filled them with a fruit based curd.  I can tell you one thing: I loved them, and I…

PASSION FRUIT CURD

I have to decided to set out on a mission: try and find out as many passion fruit based dishes as possible… and then cook them! Hehehehe  After posting my Passion fruit and Coconut Crème Brûlée a little while ago, today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious Passion fruit…

Passionfruit and Coconut Creme Brulee

PASSION FRUIT & COCONUT CRÈME BRULÉE

Crème brulée is one my favourite desserts.  I love to break the thick and bittersweet caramel crust to find the silky sweet cream underneath.  I love contrasting flavours and textures in food as you find that they all melt together when you savour them giving you ONE distinctive taste.  It is a bit like all…
