Michelle Darmody: Coconut pancakes with passionfruit sauce
Chia pudding with passionfruit and blueberry yogurt
Passionfruit grows on a vine, it can take a year or two for the vine to reach maturity and be able to produce fruit. They have a strange appearance — a tough wrinkly exterior that opens up to a squishy, seed-filled centre. The seeds and pulp are a good addition to a diet, as they are full of vitamins and fibre. Passionfruit have such a strong and unique flavour that you do not need too many of to make their presence felt in baking.
Passionfruit is an excellent addition to a fruit salad, it provides a sweet yet tart sticky sauce for the other fruit. It is particularly good with ripe strawberries and mango and some freshly squeezed orange juice.
