Passionfruit Tembleque
Passion Fruit Tembleque
Time: 20 minutes hour & 2+ hour cooling time
INGREDIENTS
1 (15-ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk
8-ounce passion fruit juice (or mango, guava, etc)
1/2 cup granulated or coconut sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons cornstarch
Optional: You can add a 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom to this for a version that speaks to flavor combinations seen throughout the South East Asian region.
DIRECTIONS
In a pot, whisk together the can of coconut milk, passionfruit juice, sugar, and salt until combined. Set aside about 1 cup of the mixture.
In a bowl, add the reserved mixture and whisk in the cornstarch. Once combined, set aside.
Heat the pot over medium heat and whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 5 minutes while continuously stirring until thickened. The mixture should stick to the back of the spoon.
Spoon the mixture into a silicone muffin pan (if you have one). I prefer to use a silicone mold that is tapered to help the pudding seamlessly come out when chilled. You can also serve these in jars.
Place in the fridge to set for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.
Once set, spoon some fresh passion fruit on top (or cinnamon)
