Passionfruit Pudding

"Life is uncertain.Eat desserts first."
It was a sheer delight to see one of the most exotic fruits fresh, straight from the farm because firstly,rarely you get to see fresh passion fruit here and secondly I was in the middle of never ending kids exams -almost a month!!

Passion fruit is both sweet and tangy with a distinct flavor which I just love it.Its quite versatile and can be used in many desserts and bakes. This golden pudding is one of my most favorites. Its delicious,light and quite citrus-y. Easy to prepare as well.
