Instructions
Make the passion fruit jelly first.
Heat the passion fruit juice and sugar in a saucepan, stirring, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Meanwhile, put the 2 sheets of gelatine in cold water and leave to soak for about 5 mins until soft. Take the juice off the heat.
Add the gelatine and stir until it melts, then stir in the passion fruit seeds.
Pour into 6 dariole moulds, or a similar container that can be turned out. Chill for 1 hr or until firmly set.
Pure the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla paste and lychees in a food processor or a blender. Sieve and pour into a saucepan. While its heating, soak the 5 sheets of gelatine in cold water, as before, until soft. When the cream is just under boiling, remove from the heat. Squeeze the water from the gelatine, add sheets to the cream mixture, then stir until dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Stir, then pour into the moulds. Chill for at least 3 hrs or up to a day, to set. Can be done a day ahead.
When ready to serve, pour boiling water into a bowl. Dip sides of each mould into the water, holding it in for a second.
Place a plate on top and flip over to turn out.
Serve the panna cottas with extra lychees, some curd and more passion fruit flesh.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Chianti, Moscato Dasti, Port, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Cream Sherry, Chianti, and Moscato d'Asti are great choices for Panna Cotta. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
