Description

This Passion Fruit Possets recipe offers a creamy, tangy dessert that beautifully balances the tropical flavor of passion fruit with the richness of heavy cream. A luscious, no-bake treat set in glasses or ramekins and served chilled, garnished with whipped cream or coconut yogurt and fresh passion fruit pulp for a refreshing finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Passion Fruit Juice

1/4 cup passion fruit juice (about 4 to 6 passion fruits)

Possets

16 oz heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice

Garnish

Coconut yogurt, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving
1 passion fruit (sweetened to taste with sugar or honey)

Instructions

Extract the passion fruit juice: Spoon the pulp and seeds of 4 to 6 passion fruits into a food processor fitted with the dough blade. Pulse briefly to loosen the pulp and separate the seeds from the juice.
Strain the juice: Pour the processed passion fruit mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, separating the juice from the seeds and pulp. Set aside.
Heat cream and sugar: Combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
Simmer gently: Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the mixture for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Be careful to prevent it from boiling over.
Add citrus flavors: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the freshly squeezed passion fruit juice and lime juice thoroughly.
Set the mixture: Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to meld flavors. Then pour evenly into 4 small glasses or ramekins.
Chill: Cover each glass or ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight until the possets have fully set and become firm.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the possets with dollops of coconut yogurt or whipped cream. Scoop fresh passion fruit pulp, sweetened to taste with sugar or honey, on top or on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

Do not let the cream mixture boil over while simmering; constant stirring helps prevent this.
You can substitute lime juice with lemon juice if preferred.
The optional garnishes add texture and complementary flavors; feel free to customize with your favorite toppings.
For a dairy-free version, replace heavy cream with coconut cream and use coconut yogurt for garnish.
The possets must chill sufficiently to set properly—overnight refrigeration is ideal.
