Squeeze the passion fruit pips, take out all the juice and set aside. Boil the cream in a thick-based pan. Meanwhile mix the egg yolk and sugar until light.

Whisk the egg whites into a meringue with half the sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Add the cocoa powder and the cornflour into the butter mixture and fold the whipped egg whites into the mixture. Bake in a moderate oven in a bain-marie for 30 minutes. Cut to the desired shape when it cools down.
