This recipe is super easy and deeelicious! I ended up not having enough sugar, so only had about half the recipe amount, and it definitely didn't need 1 1/4 cups of sugar!

My mom had gotten a bunch of passion fruit and she's never had it and wanted a dessert to show it off. We're happy I chose this recipe, it was easy and tangy and creamy...wonderful. I used only 1 cup of sugar, added a sour cream topping and topped it with some more passion fruit...overkill all that :D Thank you!
