Passionfruit and Greek yogurt cake (Cake de maracuya y yogurt griego)

Hello to all again with much  love. The weather lowering a bit the heat which is very nice, and  last Saturday we went to the beach . I think about three years I didn't go to the beach and It was beautiful. (We went only by the day) Valparaiso and Viña del Mar) In the evenings I already feel that autumn is coming (for many of you the Spring) It refreshes a lot at night! A few days ago I made this cake and many know that one of my favorite fruits is  passionfruit   (aka maracuya). As always you can use fresh or frozen passionfruit. I always have frozen. When you buy fresh passionfruit it ripens very quickly! If you find frozen passionfruit , the Peruvian is so good.

Passionfruit Tea cake (cake de maracuya)

Sometimes I think  I am different than others at my blog and  kitchen in how I choose my recipes..  I usually cook or bake what the spirit asks me so  sometimes I remember something or read a magazine or a book and voila! This time it was passionfruit, I wanted to eat passionfruit and I found this cake that I liked so much with that layer of passion fruit and sugar and I did it last night. In the morning the photos and now the post. I even bought figs to make a cake that I have pending but it was passionfruit. that as I said can be frozen or fruit (Peru exports a lot of passion fruit) I always have frozen maracuya and berries. All year. You can make ice creams, mousses, cakes, muffins, whatever you want, what more precious fruit.

Passionfruit Mousse (Mousse de maracuya)

I wish I had done this post yesterday but it was impossible for the usual reasons, in a way my time is not mine for now and it's fine, but finally I'm here with this  passionfruit  dessert. I love maracuya and in many parts it gets frozen and I also, although we are close to Peru it is easier to have frozen  passion fruit  pulp and can be used when you need.  I am really impressed  how  many passionfruit recipes come from Australia or the United Kingdom and are very good. This is a delicious maracuya mousse you just have  the patience to wait. It is better to do it at night and it will be ready for the other day. I noticed  Yotam Ottolenghi   ( an amazing chef) in his book "Sweet " has many passionfruit recipes  he is a really genius in pastry and desserts.  You can find his last book in Amazon UK  . or Amazon.com.

Passion fruit souffle (Souffle de maracuyá)

Also known as grenadilla, passion fruit is a tropical fruit with intensely flavoured slightly sour, yellow juicy pulp. I have to confess that I absolutely love passion fruit (aka maracuya) and in fact you can make desserts, tarts, ice cream, I had not made a soufle but the recipe enchanted me.  Absolutely recommend. I always use frozen maracuya if you do not have fresh maracuya. It freezes very well.
