Passion Fruit Posset with Guava Jelly

Maybe the easiest dessert you've never even heard of, posset is a custard that gets its airy, delicate texture from the curdling that occurs between acidic and dairy ingredients. This surprising technique delivers a balanced, smooth bite among the tangy flavours of passion fruit, lime and lemon, finished with a jammy guava jelly and crispy pistachio cookie crumble.
