Fold through half the whipped cream into the whisked egg mixture. Cut the passionfruit in half. Using a spoon scoop out the passion fruit pulp. Add in the pulp of 4 passionfruit, zest of one lemon and lemon juice. Fold through the remaining cream. 

Transfer the mixture into the lined loaf tin with plastic wrap. Cover and place into the freezer for 6- hours to set.
