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. Microwave for 30 seconds or melt it gently over a double boiler. Allow it to cool slightly before mixing into the mousse base.
- Blend the Mousse Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cold heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit pulp, and melted gelatin. Blend on high speed for 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Chill the Mousse: Pour the blended mixture into a large serving bowl or divide among 4 individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the mousse set properly.
- Prepare the Passion Fruit Sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the fresh passion fruit pulp and sugar. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Cool the Sauce: Remove from heat and let the passion fruit sauce cool to room temperature before topping the mousse or refrigerating for later use.
- Serve: Once the mousse has set, spoon the cooled passion fruit sauce over the top. Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.
Notes
- You can substitute passion fruit pulp with juice concentrate if fresh pulp is unavailable.
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the mousse.
- Store leftover mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- The passion fruit sauce can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
