Baked Passion Fruit (and Coconut!) Glazed Donuts

IT'S DONUT TIME AGAIN!

This is an excellent recipe for if you happen to have some passion fruit curd lying around. I realise that isn’t a cupboard stable for everyone (though it is delicious and ridiculously easy to make, so I don’t see why not). If you don’t, the pulp and seeds from a passionfruit will do perfectly well, but the flavour will be slightly more tart.

Personally, I love passion fruit and coconut together. Ever since I brunched on some amazing ricotta pancakes delicately dotted with passion fruit curd and coconut cream, I have loved this combo. It was life-changing.

Have you all bought the donut pan yet? I have used mine more this year than a muffin pan.

Let’s all hop on the baked donut train again! Choo choo!

Passionfruit and Coconut Cake

Good weather calls for good cake!

And have I got a summertime treat for everyone. This is a kind of tropical version of the lemon curd cake I’ve posted previously. This just feels so summery and would be the perfect end to a fancy picnic. Fresh and zesty and nutty – and super easy to make!

Gather your ingredients, yo!

Passionfruit, coconut and sponge is just the best little trio you could ever imagine. Try it and then try to tell me I’m wrong.

Passion Fruit Curd

So, I'm kind of obsessed with curd now. Get with the program. It's spring, and I'm blitzing all of my fruit to make this amazing little compote. Basically, this means that I have a new ingredient to play with! Breakfast will never be the same.

Breakfast TRANSFORMED!

I’ve decided that fruit curd is the best thing ever. It all started with some amazing pancakes I got for brunch which were served with passion fruit curd.

I started off easy, making the simplest type of curd (lemon). It was super delicious, and very easy. I 

used it on pancakes, and in cakes. The next step was to branch out into passion fruit curd because I found a local place to buy them – would you believe that Tesco’s sells passion fruits?!

The method for this is slightly different from lemon curd, but it produces the same smooth, zesty sweet preserve. Curd is really simple, really versatile and I am very pleased with my little fridge full of jars of homemade deliciousness.
