Enjoy passion fruit ......

Love it...it's wonderfully tart.
Do you like passion fruit? I'm a big fan of passion fruit. It's nice to either eat it fresh or use it as part of my desserts.

I have a big basket of freshly picked passion fruits. Today I want to enjoy it difeferent way...I serve it with greek yogurt. Its bright orange pulp is really refreshing and it really associates with something that's really tart.

Sometimes I use it as a flavoring in drinks and make sauces.Seeds are edible but it can be extracted from pulp by putting pulp in a blender on low speed. Then run mixture through a strainer to retain pulp and juice. Passion is also a good candidate to make jam or curd to be a filling for macarons, but I never tried.

Can't beleive that I made it!

I made crossaint! Yes, I made it....I have baked many cakes, but I never thought of making an attempt to make homemade crossaint.

Making any desserts that requires a special skills of molding, folding or decorating is not my type. It's not as difficult as I thought but it's not as easy as some people said so. It was a boring night..my house was out of Internet connection. It was too early to go to bed, so I needed to find something to do. At least preparing something for breakfast, so I can enjoy my beautiful morning talking to my flowers in the garden.

It requires patience as well as making any homemade puff pastry, but the most challenging part for me is to roll them nicely. They all turned out to be a little bit different from each other, but I can recognize their shapes as crossaint. I think I made it a little too big ....... I will improve it next time.

I could smile at my crossaint only after I cut them. It's much nicer than I thought I would turn out. Yes, I and Huggie enjoyed it for our breakfast.
