Passionfruit Pudding Food

PASSION FRUIT TEACUP PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line a large, deep roasting tin with a tea towel, set aside, and boil the kettle. Put 100g of the curd in a bowl, mix the remaining curd with the passion fruit seeds and pulp, and divide between 6 teacups or ramekins (mine were around 200ml).
• Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until pale and fluffy - this will take about 5 mins. Add the reserved curd, butter, milk, flour and baking powder. Fold the mixture together with a spatula until there are no visible lumps of flour, then divide between the teacups.
• Put the teacups in the roasting tin. Carefully fill the tin with hot water from the kettle to come about halfway up the sides of the teacups, being careful not to get any water in the cups. Bake for 50 mins until risen and golden. Once cooked, you can cool the puddings and chill for up to a day, or wrap in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, bring to room temperature, put back in a hot water bath in the oven and bake for 15 mins at 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Before serving, dust each pudding with a little icing sugar and put a spoonful of clotted cream on top, if you like.

PASSION FRUIT & LEMON SELF-SAUCING PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter a deep baking dish (about 20 x 30cm and 5cm deep). Tip the flour, baking powder, sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Put the melted butter, milk, eggs and passion fruit pulp in a jug and whisk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together using a spatula until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
• For the sauce, whisk the sugar, lemon juice, passion fruit pulp and lemon curd together in a heatproof bowl with 300ml boiling water from the kettle. Carefully pour the sauce directly over the batter in the dish, then bake for 40-45 mins until the top is set and golden, and the sauce is bubbling up at the edges. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
