Let's do it!
- Cover the bottom and sides of the dish with plastic wrap, making the edges stick out.
- With a whisk, beat the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a medium heatproof bowl until thick and creamy. Stirring constantly, place the bowl over a pot of boiling water and stir for 5 minutes or until the mixture doubles in volume. Remove from heat and reserve.
- Using a whisk, beat the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add half of the cream to the egg mixture and mix gently until smooth. Add the remaining cream, passion fruit pulp, and lime juice and blend until smooth. Pour into prepared ramekins and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight to harden.
