Lilikoi Butter – The passion fruit, a tangy and sweet fruit, is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates. The passion fruit, called Lilikoi in Hawaii, is served as a fresh fruit or is used to make delicious jams and spreads. Our journey to Maui, a beautiful island in Hawaii, includes the degustation of a wonderful Hawaiian delicacy, the Lilikoi Butter. The Lilikoi Butter is made with passion fruit concentrate, egg yolks, sugar and butter. It has a silky and creamy texture, and tastes wonderfully with a fresh brioche or a plain yogurt. In our recipe, we use a passion fruit concentrate produced by Perfect Purée of Napa Valley. Our Lilikoi Butter has a soft texture and is lightly sweet and tangy. A sweeter flavor can be achieved by adding a little bit more sugar. A fresh brioche from Le Panier, a French bakery in Seattle, is an ideal pastry to serve with the Lilikoi Butter.

Step 2 – Add the cubed butter to the mixture and continue mixing for a few minutes. Place the Lilikoi Butter in glass jars, leave the mixture to cool down and conserve the fruit butter in the refrigerator.
Step 3 – Enjoy this delicious Hawaiian delicacy with a fresh brioche or a plain yogurt!
