Passion Star Delight

Method

Step one

In a pan, measure the McDougalls Orange Flavour Jelly Crystals and mix with the boiling water. Mix well until the jelly crystals have dissolved.

Step two

Combine the Passion Star cocktail ingredients in a mixing glass with ice.

Step three

Stir well for about 20-30 seconds, then strain.

Step four

Pour the cocktail mix into the jelly mix, stir well before dividing the mix between 10 martini glasses, and place the glasses into a fridge to set for 30 mins.

Step five

Prepare the passion fruit custard by mixing the cold Bird’s Custard with the passion fruit purée and set aside.

Step six

To prepare the vanilla cream cheese, split the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds out of the pods.

Step seven

Add the Bird’s Cheesecake Mix and milk into a mixing bowl along with the vanilla seeds.

Step eight

Using a mixer (with whisk attachment) or a handheld electric whisk, beat the cheesecake mix until smooth.

Step nine

Pour in the double cream and continue to whisk until soft peaks and then transfer the mix to a piping bag and refrigerate until required.

Step ten

Once the jelly has set, layer with equal amounts of passion fruit custard and top it with equal amounts of vanilla cream cheese.

Step eleven

Garnish with crushed meringue, half a fresh passion fruit and sprigs of mint.
