Steps

  • Combine sugar syrup ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil while stirring.
  • Boil for 3 minutes, skim the surface, sieve, and cool the syrup completely.
  • Boil sugar and water for meringue until the syrup reaches 110°C.
  • Whisk egg whites to firm peaks in an electric mixer.
  • Remove sugar syrup from heat once it reaches 121°C.
  • Slowly pour hot syrup into whisking egg whites and continue beating for five minutes until tepid.
  • Blend passion fruit pulp and syrup until smooth, then strain.
  • Reserve 60ml of purée and boil the rest with milk powder and vanilla pod.
  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar until the mixture forms a ribbon.
  • Pour half the hot fruit mixture onto the yolks while whisking, then return everything to the pan.
  • Heat gently while stirring until thick enough to coat a spatula without boiling.
  • Stir in drained gelatine leaves and let cool slightly.
  • Discard vanilla pod and strain the custard through a conical sieve to cool.
  • Place the sponge flan base onto a tray.
  • Mix 50ml sugar syrup with reserved purée and brush over the sponge.
  • Press a 25cm flan ring into the sponge to create the base.
  • Fold in half the meringue, the liqueur, and the whipped cream into the lukewarm custard.
  • Fill the flan ring with mixture, smooth the surface, and freeze for several hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Beat butter, icing sugar, and honey for the tuiles until smooth.
  • Add egg whites one by one, then fold in the flour.
  • Spread a thin layer of tuile mixture through leaf-shaped stencils onto parchment paper.
  • Bake for 4 minutes until pale golden-brown.
  • Heat syrup and purée for the glaze, stir in gelatine, cool, and spread over the frozen delice.
  • Garnish with passion fruit seeds and upright tuiles before slicing.
