Passion Fruit and Chocolate Layered Dessert Recipe

Duration:

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Chill Time: 1 hour

• Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Servings:

• Serves 8-10 people

Ingredients:

For the Cream:

• 3 cans milk cream (also known as heavy cream or table cream)

• 2 cans sweetened condensed milk

• 2 packets passion fruit juice powder (or substitute with your preferred flavor)

For the Ganache:

• 1 can milk cream

• 200g dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions:

Prepare the Cream Layer:

1. In a blender, combine the milk cream, sweetened condensed milk, and passion fruit juice powder.

2. Blend on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth, thick, and creamy.

3. Pour the cream mixture into a glass dish, spreading it evenly to form the base layer.

Prepare the Ganache Layer:

1. Melt the chopped dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval to prevent burning.

2. Once melted, stir in the milk cream until the ganache is smooth and glossy.

Assemble the Dessert:

1. Carefully pour the ganache over the cream layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

2. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the dessert to set.

Serve:

1. Once chilled and set, slice the dessert into portions and serve cold. Enjoy the creamy, tangy, and chocolatey goodness!

Tips & Tricks:

• Flavor Variations: If you’re not a fan of passion fruit, try substituting with other juice powders like mango, lime, or strawberry for a different twist.

• Ganache Consistency: For a thicker ganache, reduce the amount of milk cream slightly. For a softer ganache, add a little more milk cream.

• Chill Time: For best results, let the dessert chill for 2-3 hours to fully set and enhance the flavors.

• Serving Idea: Garnish with fresh passion fruit pulp, chocolate shavings, or mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.

FAQs:

Q: Can I use fresh passion fruit instead of juice powder?
A: Yes! You can use fresh passion fruit pulp. Blend it with the other cream ingredients, but you may need to add a bit of sugar or sweetener to balance the tartness.

Q: Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
A: Absolutely! Milk chocolate will give a sweeter flavor, while dark chocolate provides a richer, more intense taste. Choose based on your preference.

Q: How long does this dessert last in the refrigerator?
A: It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Q: Can I freeze this dessert?
A: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the dessert for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Storage Instructions:

• Refrigerator: Store the dessert in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep it covered to prevent the ganache from drying out.

• Freezer: Freeze in a freezer-safe dish for up to 1 month. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil to maintain freshness. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
