Passion fruit white chocolate drink with choux pastry

Did you know that the deliciously creamy and sweet taste of Finest Belgian white Chocolate pairs beautifully with the acidic taste and energising tang of passion fruit? This dessert recipe celebrates that wonderful combination of flavours with a refreshing and delightfully airy white chocolate-passion fruit drink, accompanied by a delicious piece of choux pastry. And we decorated the latter with a bit of crumble based on demerara sugar to bring out an appetising toffee flavour in it. A wonderful afternoon dessert!
