The best thing about passionfruit is that, while it’s delicious on its own, any leftovers you have can be the (literal) icing on a cake. Take a classic pavlova, for example. Punctuate the sweetness of the meringue with the tartness of the passionfruit and you’ve got yourself a showstopper. Or why not turn it into a refreshing summery dessert like our passionfruit granita jellies? Whatever you do with the excess, we guarantee it’ll be delicious.
Yes, you can freeze passionfruit whole by placing it in a freezer-safe bag. When it comes time to defrost, simply pop the passionfruit in the fridge before scooping out the pulp. If you’re looking for a time-saving hack, scoop the pulp into ice cube trays before freezing and use whenever you need.
