"Passion fruit has a very intoxicating avour and aroma. e combination of the textures of the fruit and the crispiness of the meringue and then the creaminess of the pudding – it's a little tropical getaway." LOVE AT FIRST BITE " e Pavlova is a baked meringue. It's crispy on the outside and then soft on the inside so it really melts in your mouth. e coconut rice pudding is nice and creamy with tropical avours, the pineapple is roasted and the ice cream is passion fruit coconut. Anything with passion fruit is delicious."
