How it's done

Passion fruit

Cut the passion fruits in half, scoop out the pulp, place in a tall measuring cup (yields approx. 125 ml). Set aside the passion fruit shells. Briefly puree the passion fruit pulp, pass through a sieve into a thin-sided bowl (yields approx. 100 ml).

Custard

Add the egg yolks, egg, sugar and salt, mix well. Stir the mixture over a gently simmering bain-marie until it starts to thicken. Add the butter and chocolate, continue to stir until the mixture becomes creamy. Pour the custard into the reserved passion fruit shells, cover and chill for at least 1 hr.

Decoration

Sprinkle sugar on top of the custard and caramelize carefully with a blowtorch.
