Passion Fruit Posset with Chef Josh from Guittard

Josh from Guittard always comes with recipes that have different components with multiple purposes. And that is exactly what you can expect from this recipe for Passion Fruit Posset. It features a delicious base that is kind of like a custard. Then you top it with a luxurious milk chocolate cremeux, which is almost like a mousse. And the finishing touch is the chocolate streusel which you crumble over the top. Every piece of the recipe is delicious and could easily stand alone. Best of all there are several different ways to use each component. But also, the combined flavor is unbelievably good.

Josh knows his chocolate. For this recipe he used the 38% Soleil d’Or chocolate wafers for the chocolate cremeux. It is light, fluffy, and just the right amount of delicious milk chocolate flavor. And for the chocolate streusel crumble he used the Cocoa Rouge cocoa powder for the deep, earthy flavor as well as the rich color.

He served this passion fruit posset in little cups, but you could easily flip the recipe and use the streusel as a crust, fill it with the posset, and finish with the cremeux. We can’t wait to see all the fun things you come up with when making this recipe at home.
