This dish is not only delightful but also relatively simple to prepare, making it perfect for impressing guests at dinner parties or for indulging yourself with a delicious treat.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, light sour cream, eggs, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gently stir in the passionfruit pulp, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the custard mixture.
Evenly divide the custard mixture among 4-6 small ramekins or oven-safe custard cups. Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish.
Pour hot water into the baking dish so that it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath will help the custards cook evenly and prevent cracking.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake the custards for 30-35 minutes, or until they are just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Serve the chilled passionfruit custards as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh passionfruit seeds for an extra touch of elegance.
Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh passionfruit pulp for the best flavor, but if unavailable, frozen pulp can be a good substitute.
- For a silky smooth custard, strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve before adding it to the ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a water bath. This helps to cook the custards gently and evenly, preventing them from cracking.
- Check the custards around 25 minutes into baking. They should be set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center when shaken.
- Let the custards cool to room temperature before refrigerating them. This helps to avoid condensation forming on the tops.
- For a touch of elegance, garnish with fresh passionfruit seeds or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Baked passionfruit custards are a delightful way to end any meal. With their smooth and creamy texture combined with the vibrant flavor of passionfruit, they are sure to become a favorite. Enjoy this elegant dessert warm or chilled, and savor every spoonful.
