Smooth to remove any excess and freeze. Heat the glaze gently and mix using a hand blender. Add the dried passionfruit seeds and mix with a spatula. Turn out the log molds and cut into three equal 17.5cm sections. Glaze each log, then place a rectangle of white chocolate, 3cm wide and 17cm long, in the center of the log, followed by two 8.5cm x 7.5cm end pieces. Using a whisk, whip the vanilla cream and pipe over the log. Decorate with fresh fruit.
