Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water.
-
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, swirling occasionally, until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
-
Immediately remove from heat and place the pot in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
-
Carefully pour the hot caramel into four 6-ounce ramekins, tilting them to coat the bottom and sides.
-
In another small saucepan, bring the Sauternes to a simmer and reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together 5 egg yolks, 2 whole eggs, and 1 1/2 cups sugar until pale and thick.
-
Whisk in the reduced Sauternes and heavy cream until fully combined.
-
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure smoothness.
-
Pour the custard evenly into the caramel-coated ramekins.
-
Place the ramekins in a roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each pudding and invert onto a plate.
-
Garnish with fresh passion fruit pulp and serve immediately.
