Passion fruit topping

Bring the sugar and water to the boil in a wide pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed. Add the passion fruit pulp, cover and simmer until the caramel has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the gelatine. Leave the caramel to cool, cover and chill for approx. 2 hrs.

Tiramisu

Pour the orange juice into a bowl. Dip half of the sponge fingers in the orange juice and place in the prepared dish. Top with half of the mascarpone & quark cream. Dip the remainder of the sponge fingers in the orange juice and arrange on top of the mascarpone & quark cream. Spread the remainder of the mascarpone & quark cream on top. Spread the passion fruit topping over the tiramisu, garnish with mint.
