Passionfruit Flummery

1. 1

   Peel the rind from the lemon and then squeeze out the juice. Reserve 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Combine the lemon rind, water and caster sugar in a medium saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, over a medium heat, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup comes to the boil. Remove from the heat and discard the lemon rind from the syrup.

2. 2

   Combine the gelatine and boiling water in a heatproof jug and stir until the gelatine dissolves and the liquid is clear. Add the lemon juice and mix well to combine.

3. 3

   Put the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and whisk with a balloon whisk. Pour in the warm syrup in a thin stream followed by the gelatine mixture, whisking constantly until well-combined.

4. 4

   Cover and refrigerate until the mixture thickens and begins to set around the edges.

5. 5

   Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until they form soft peaks when the beater is lifted upwards from the mixing bowl. Fold the egg white mixture and the passionfruit pulp into the lemon mixture.

6. 6

   Spoon into four 1-cup serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 6 hours, or until set.
