Method

01

Fill a large saucepan with approximately 7.5 cm of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This will create a double boiler for the egg yolks.

Look for: Small bubbles rising from the bottom of the pan
02

In a separate medium saucepan, gently heat the passion-fruit purée over low heat for 2 minutes, or until just warmed. Do not boil.

2mLook for: Slightly steaming
03

In a medium metal bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until well combined. Place the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

04

Continue whisking the egg yolk mixture vigorously until it becomes thick, pale, and ribbons form, about 2 minutes. This is called the 'sabayon' stage.

05

Remove the egg yolk mixture from the heat. Slowly pour the warm passion-fruit purée into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 1 minute.

06

Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl to remove any potential lumps and ensure a smooth texture. Allow the mixture to cool completely before the next step.

Look for: Smooth, even texture
07

In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream using a whisk or hand-held mixer until stiff peaks form.

Look for: Stiff peaks formFeel: Cream holds its shape
08

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled passion-fruit mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the cream.

Look for: Uniformly mixed, light and airy appearance
09

Spoon the mixture into four push-up molds, filling them to the top. Insert the holders.

Look for: Molds filled to the top.
10

Freeze the push-up molds for at least 1 hour, or until solid.

11

Once frozen, remove the push-up molds from the freezer. Gently push the frozen filling up through the holder.

Look for: Filling easily slides out of the molds.
12

Quickly roll the exposed frozen filling in assorted edible flowers until covered, and serve immediately. Do not allow the molds to sit out as the dessert melts quickly

Look for: Flower-covered dessert

Chef's Notes

  • For the best results, use high-quality passion fruit purée. If using fresh passion fruit, strain it to remove the seeds.
  • If the edible flowers are not available, other garnishes can be used, such as shredded coconut or citrus zest.
  • Be sure to serve the push-up pops immediately after decorating with the flowers, as the dessert melts quickly.

Storage

Freezer: 1 monthStore in push-up molds.
