Frozen yoghurt and passionfruit curd cake

The curd is important here – the frozen yoghurt has an icier, blockier texture than regular ice-cream so the curd acts as a brilliant softener, making it easier for you to cut through when serving. Commonly yoghurt desserts are cut through with cream to create a creamier texture but I love the icy texture here – it is offset by the rich curd beautifully and feels like a lighter, fresher Christmas Day dessert.
