This simple and refreshing dessert is made without condensed milk, cream, or gelatin. It’s quick to prepare, requires only a few ingredients, and is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Follow these easy steps to create a delightful passion fruit dessert that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 2 cups powdered milk
- 1 packet passion fruit flavored juice powder (18 grams)
- Pulp of 1 passion fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mixture:
- Add Cold Water: Start by pouring 1 1/2 cups of very cold water into a blender. The water needs to be very cold to achieve the right consistency for this dessert.
- Add Powdered Milk: Add 2 cups of powdered milk to the blender. This will create a creamy base for the dessert.
2. Blend with Juice Powder:
- Add Juice Powder: Next, add 1 packet of passion fruit flavored juice powder to the blender. You can use any flavor you prefer, but passion fruit gives a delightful tropical taste.
- Blend: Cover the blender and blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and thick. The mixture should thicken as it blends. If you want a thicker consistency, you can add a little more juice powder and blend again. This extra blending helps achieve a firmer texture.
3. Transfer and Garnish:
- Check Consistency: Once blended to your desired consistency, transfer the mixture to a serving container. You’ll notice that the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Add Passion Fruit Pulp: For added flavor and texture, top the mixture with the pulp of 1 passion fruit. This step is optional but highly recommended as it enhances the tropical flavor and adds a nice texture. Mix gently to combine the pulp with the creamy mixture.
4. Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate: Although the dessert is ready to enjoy immediately, refrigerating it for a few hours will make it even colder and more refreshing. This step also helps the dessert firm up slightly, making it easier to serve.
- Serve: Spoon the dessert into serving glasses or bowls. Enjoy this easy and delicious treat!
Cooking Notes:
- Juice Powder: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of juice powder to create various versions of this dessert. Strawberry, mango, or lemon juice powder can provide interesting and delicious alternatives.
- Consistency: Adjust the amount of juice powder to achieve your preferred consistency. Adding more juice powder will make the dessert thicker, while less will make it lighter and creamier.
- Garnish: You can garnish with other fruits or toppings like mint leaves, coconut flakes, or even a drizzle of honey for added flavor and presentation.
