  • Total Time: 3 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
