Main Mousse:
- 2 teaspoons (8g) unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 1/3 cups (290g) heavy cream, cold
- 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (265g) passion fruit pulp or unsweetened juice concentrate
For the topping:
- Pulp of two fresh passion fruits with seeds (about 1/3 cup)
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Making the passion fruit mousse: Mix the gelatin and water in a small bowl, until the gelatin is hydrated. Microwave for 30 seconds (or heat on a double boiler) for the gelatin to melt. Cool slightly before using.
- Combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit pulp and melted gelatin in the blender. Blend for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the mousse to a large serving bowl or to 4 individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
- Top with the passion fruit sauce and serve!
- Making the topping: Combine the fresh passion fruit pulp and the sugar in a saucepan. Cook, over medium low heat, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts boiling. Lower the heat and continue cooking for another minute or two, or until it thickens slightly.
- Let the sauce cool to room temperature before using or refrigerating to use later.
Notes
- Gelatin: This recipe can be made without the gelatin, but the texture will be looser. If not using the gelatin, I would let the mousse set in the fridge for longer, 5-6 hours minimum.
- Make ahead: Passion fruit mousse (and sauce) can be made 1-2 days ahead.
- Leftovers: Leftover mousse, when stored properly in an airtight container in the fridge, is safe to eat for 4-5 days.
- Freezing: Passion fruit mousse can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge or serve still frozen, as a semi freddo.
