FAQ
Can I use fresh passion fruit instead of powder?
Yes. Strain fresh pulp and use approximately 150g. Reduce condensed milk by 50g to compensate for added liquid. Mix until smooth before folding into cream.
What if my chocolate won't set properly in the mold?
Ensure pan is very cold before spreading chocolate. Work in a cool kitchen or briefly chill chocolate-lined pan between layers. Silicone molds conduct cold more slowly than metal.
How long can I keep this before serving?
Refrigerate up to 4 days. Unmold only when ready to serve. Do not freeze as texture becomes grainy. Serve within 2 hours of unmolding to avoid condensation on surface.
