Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 3 tbsp 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
  • 2 fresh passion fruits, pulp with seeds (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Equipment

  • Blender
  • microwave or double boiler
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Mix gelatin with water in a small bowl to hydrate. Microwave 30 seconds or melt in a double boiler. Let cool slightly.
  2. Combine cream, condensed milk, passion fruit pulp, and melted gelatin in a blender. Blend for 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Transfer mousse into a large serving bowl or 4 individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
  4. For topping: combine passion fruit pulp and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Simmer 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Cool before using.
  5. Top mousse with cooled passion fruit sauce. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

✨ Gelatin: Can be omitted for a looser mousse—just chill longer (5–6 hrs).
✨ Make-ahead: Prepare 1–2 days ahead; keep sauce separate until serving.
✨ Storage: Keeps 4–5 days refrigerated. Freeze up to 3 months (serve semi-freddo style straight from freezer).
