I had never had a passion fruit or juice, but found some that was mixed with white grape use, and got it as it was the only one I could find. I will say that it is a very different fruit flavor, wasn't sure if I would like this dessert!! But mixed with the orange jello and then the whipped cream folded in makes for a very light and fruity dessert!!! Made for ZWT4.
