Ingredients

Mousse

  • 1 cup (250 milliliters) passion fruit concentrate, frozen pulp or fresh fruit, unsweetened and seedless
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin, 1.8 grams or 0.25 ounces per envelope
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
  • 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 7 fluid ounces (200 milliliters) heavy cream

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) passion fruit pulp with seeds
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare passion fruit mixture: Combine the passion fruit pulp and lime juice in a medium bowl and set it aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Dissolve gelatin: Place gelatin sheets in a bowl and cover with water. Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir to dissolve completely, and return for brief heating if needed. Avoid boiling to preserve gelatin properties.
  3. Mix mousse base: Stir the dissolved gelatin into the passion fruit mixture, ensuring no gelatin pieces remain undissolved. Transfer mixture to a blender; add sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. Blend on medium-high speed for 5 minutes to incorporate air and achieve a light texture.
  4. Chill mousse: Pour the mousse evenly into 4 small dessert bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set properly.
  5. Prepare passion fruit sauce: Combine passion fruit pulp with seeds and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil.
  6. Simmer sauce: Continue simmering for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly to enhance its flavor and texture.
  7. Cool and serve: Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve chilled mousse topped with the passion fruit seed sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the mousse.
  • The blending time is crucial to incorporate enough air for a light and fluffy mousse texture.
  • Adjust sugar in the sauce to taste depending on the sweetness of your passion fruit pulp.
  • Refrigerate the mousse for at least 3 hours or until set firmly for best results.
  • This mousse can be garnished with fresh passion fruit seeds or mint leaves for added presentation.
