(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading...You may be asking, "what is a budino?" I know when I first heard the word I didn't even know if it was a food much less a delicious dessert. It turns out, a Budino is a sweet Italian dish, usually rich and creamy like a custard or pudding. This recipe won't disappoint. It has a rich and creamy texture along with the tangy flavors of Passion Fruit and Lemon. I chose to serve it cold with a passion fruit whip cream.

Notes
I chose to make a passion fruit whipped cream. I used 1 ½ Cups Heavy Whipping Cream, ½ Cup Powdered Sugar and 2 tsp Passion Fruit Puree. Put all ingredients into a chilled metal bowl and whip with a hand mixer until stiff peaks are formed. You can pipe or place on custards with a tablespoon dollop.
