deng deng deng. u ought to love this 
I had loads of Passionfruits at home.. and no one seems to remember there's any passionfruit in the fridge. so, i'm the one who eats them.. and.. because i can't eat soo many in a day.. i decided to do something with it..
i fliped thru all the food mags n see if there's anything interesting n simple with passionfruit. (i dont have a car to drive, so my ingredients are quite limited.. gotta make the best out of it tho)
i found them in Australian Gourmet Traveller's March Issue. coincidentally, the fruit in season is... tada.. passionfruit!!
ok.. recipe & method
For pavlovas, whisk 4 eggwhites in an electric micer until soft peaks form, then add 1 cup caster sugar (1/2 - 3/4cup should be enough), a tablespoonful at a time, until sugar is inforporated and mixture is thick, glossy and firm peaks form.
stiff/firm peaks means... it's not watery..it's anti-gravity.. haha.. basically when u turn it upside down, it doesnt fall..
Fold in 1 tbsp cornflour, 2 tsp white vinegar and 1 tsp vanilla extract, then form mixture into eight 9-cm diameter rounds and bake at 120C for 1 hour. Turn off oven and leave pavlovas in until completely cold.
use baking paper to remove the pavlova easier
For passionfruit butter, combine 7 egg yolks, 1/2 cup caster sugar, 1/2 cup passionfruit juice (about 3 ripe heavy passionfruit) and 2 tbsp lemon juice in a heatproof bowl and whisk over a saucepan of simmering water for 6-7 minutes or until thick and fluffy.
to get the passionfruit juice, use a seiver.. or skin seiver if u have ..
Remove from heat and whisk in 175gm very soft butter, a tablespoon at a time. whisk until smooth, then whick in 1/4 cup thick natural yoghurt. Refrigerate until firm.
suppose to be heart shaped... -.-"
Fill pavlovas with passionfruit butter, and top with sliced banana, strawberries and passionfruit pulp. Makes 8
yummm... so good!
* The pavlova was abit too sweet.. and the passionfruit butter went too sour because of too much lemon juice... surprisingly when both adds together, with strawberries, they compliment each other well!
one thing is that..the fruit has to be sourish type..
Extra Note: Passionfruit are great with - banana, berries, chocolate, coconut, cream, lime, lychee, mango, mascarpone, orange, mint, papaya, pineapple, run, tequila, vanilla, yoghurt.... (NOT with pavlovas)
