Ingredients
For the Passion Fruit Cream
- 3 cans evaporated milk
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packets powdered passion fruit juice
You may substitute another powdered fruit flavor if preferred
For the Chocolate Ganache
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 200 grams dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Passion Fruit Cream
Add the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered passion fruit juice to a blender. Blend for about five minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Assemble the Cream Layer
Pour the blended passion fruit cream into a glass or ceramic dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a smooth and level surface. Set aside while you prepare the ganache.
Make the Chocolate Ganache
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to avoid overheating.
Heat the heavy cream separately until it is hot but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the melted chocolate and stir gently until the mixture becomes smooth, shiny, and fully combined.
Assemble the Dessert
Carefully pour the chocolate ganache over the passion fruit cream layer. Spread it evenly so the entire surface is covered.
Chill
Refrigerate the dessert for at least one hour. This allows the layers to firm up and the flavors to come together properly.
Serve
Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled. Slice or spoon into portions and enjoy.
