Serves: 4 to 6
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes
Ingredients
1/2 cup of passionfruit pulp (about 6)
1 vanilla bean pod, seeds only
A few mint leaves for garnish

3 eggs
1/3 cup caster sugar
4 large or 6 small ramekins
Method
Preheat oven to 160°C
Mix vanilla seeds, milk, cream, eggs and sugar in a saucepan. Whisk gently (you don’t want to create froth) over heat until well combined and the mixture is hot (about 5 minutes, do not boil)
Add the passionfruit pulp and cook for a further 3 minutes or until slightly thickened
Fill each ramekin with the mixture
Fill a roasting dish with hot water (about halfway up the ramekins) and place ramekins carefully in the water bath
Bake for 20 minutes or until there is a slight wobble in the middle of the custard
Allow to cool slightly, garnish with mint leaves and serve
