  2. While you could weave all of fhe passion fruit curd through the dessert, I like to keep some of it aside to spoon oyer the pudding. Leftovers will keep in the freezer for a couple of weeks.

    
    400g ricotta
    165g caster sugar
    300ml whipping cream
    100g nougat, chopped
    100g raspberries, fresh or frozen
    180ml passion fruit curd, cooled
    
    PASSION FRUIT CURD
    4 egg yolks
    115g caster sugar
    2-3 lemons, juiced (to make 100ml) and 1 zested
    2 passion fruit, pulp scooped out
    60g unsalted butter
    
    

    Double-line a 20 x 12.5cm loaf tin with baking paper. To make the passion fruit curd, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until they are fluffy. Put in a pan with the remaining ingredients, put over medium / low heat and stir until the mixture thickens like mayonnaise. lf it's lumpy, strain it before pouring it into a bowl to cool.

    To make the parfait, blend the ricotta and sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Fold all the ingredients together, then swirl through 180ml of the passion fruit curd until you have a ripple effect.

    Spoon the mixture into the Prepared loaf tin and freeze it for 6-8 hours. To serve, turn the porfait out of the tin, cut into slices and arrange on a platter. Put the slices in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving to allow them to soften to the right consistency. Dollop any remaining passion fruit curd and raspberries over the top of the slices, if you like.
