- Remove from heat, and stir in the reserved cornstarch and milk mixture and the sweetened condensed milk.

- Let cool slightly, then pour this chocolate cream over the chilled passion fruit cream layer in the glass dish. Spread evenly.
- Return the dish to the refrigerator.
3. Prepare the Lime Cream (Top Layer)
- In a bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the lime juice until the mixture becomes light and creamy.
