Maury Rubin's Passion Push-Up
- 1 13 cups passion-fruit puree
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Generous amount assorted edible flowers
- Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a boil.
- Pour the passion-fruit puree into a medium saucepan and cook on low for 2 minutes, or until hot.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a medium metal bowl.
- Set the bowl over the saucepan of boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Whisk the yolks and sugar vigorously until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the hot passion-fruit juice slowly into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
- With a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until it is thick and coats the back of the spoon, about 1 minute.
- Strain through a fine sieve into a large bowl.
- Let cool.
- Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and with a whisk or hand-held mixer, beat until stiff peaks form.
- Fold cream into cooled passion-fruit mixture.
- With a spoon, fill each of 4 1/2-cup push-up molds to the top and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Remove and push the frozen filling up through its holder and quickly roll in a plate of edible flowers until covered and serve.
