Ingredients
Mousse
- 2 teaspoons (8g) unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 ⅓ cups (290g) heavy cream (cold)
- 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (265g) passion fruit pulp or unsweetened juice concentrate
Topping
- Pulp of two fresh passion fruits with seeds (about ⅓ cup)
- ¼ cup sugar
Instructions
- Hydrate the gelatin: Mix the gelatin and water in a small bowl until the gelatin is fully hydrated. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds or using a double boiler until melted. Let it cool slightly before using.
- Blend the mousse: In a blender, combine the cold heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit pulp, and the melted gelatin. Blend on high for 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly aerated.
- Chill the mousse: Pour the mousse into a large serving bowl or divide evenly among 4 individual dessert glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the gelatin to set and the mousse to firm up.
- Prepare the passion fruit sauce: In a saucepan, combine the fresh passion fruit pulp and sugar. Heat over medium-low flame, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Cool the sauce: Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature before topping the mousse. You can refrigerate it if not using immediately.
- Serve: Once the mousse is set, spoon the passion fruit sauce over the top and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Cooling the gelatin before blending prevents clumping in the mousse.
- A longer chilling time will result in firmer mousse.
- If you prefer less sweetness, adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk accordingly.
- To omit seeds in the topping, strain the fresh passion fruit pulp before cooking.
- Use fresh passion fruit or high-quality puree for the best flavor.
