Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ cups frozen passionfruit pulp unsweetened
- 2 cups water
- ¼ - ½ cup sugar or to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pulp of 3 fresh passionfruits plus more for garnish
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup milk of choice
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the frozen passionfruit pulp, water, sugar (start with ¼ cup) and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add in the pulp of 2 fresh passionfruits (seeds and all) and blend on low for just 2 or so seconds. This will add more texture and a more vibrant passionfruit flavor to the agua fresca, without blending the seeds and making the drink a dull color.
- In a bowl, combine and mix the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and milk of choice.
- Transfer the passionfruit juice mixture to a pitcher filled with ice, then pour the milk mixture on top so that it creates a beautiful layer when serving.
- Mix the agua fresca to combine and taste or adjust the sweetness or consistency if desired.
- Serve immediately over ice in tall glasses and top with a swirl of passionfruit pulp for a pretty finish.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to taste depending on the tartness of your passionfruit.
- Want it thicker? Use less water or add ½ frozen banana to blend.
- Great for prepping ahead — just shake before serving!
