Tips
If you would like to experiment with this dessert recipe and try some ingredient substitutions, here are a few tips. Instead of using regular dairy milk for the custard, you can use coconut milk or almond milk for a different flavor profile. To make the passion fruit curd, you can substitute with other tart fruits like lemon or lime to create a zesty twist. Additionally, if you don't have access to fresh passion fruit, you can try using passion fruit juice or even a passion fruit puree for a concentrated flavor. Don't be afraid to get creative and adapt the recipe to your preferences and ingredient availability.
