Method

  1. Put the jelly crystals in a heatproof bowl and make up to pack instructions. Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hrs until set. 
  2. Stir half the coulis into the cordial and transfer to a shallow dish. 
  3. Line the bottom of a 20cm loose- bottomed cake tin. Dip the sponge fingers (about 26 or 27 fingers) into the elderflower mix, then use to line the sides of the tin. 
  4. Use an electric whisk to whip half the cream to soft peaks, then spoon in the jelly and whisk for 30 secs to combine. Spoon into the tin and chill for at least 6 hrs before serving. 
  5. To serve, whip the remaining cream to soft peaks and spoon on top. Swirl over the remaining coulis and top with the passion fruit halves, pulp and seeds.
