- 1/2 cup fresh passion fruit (for garnish)
Dairy
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
Sweeteners and Stabilizers
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes, creating a soft, translucent mixture.
- Warm the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until completely dissolved, stirring gently to ensure no lumps remain.
- Blend passion fruit pulp with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Whip heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy consistency.
- Gently fold the gelatin mixture into the passion fruit blend, ensuring even incorporation without deflating the mixture.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the passion fruit mixture, using a spatula with sweeping motions to maintain the mousse’s delicate volume.
- Transfer the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large decorative bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until the mousse sets and firms up completely.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh passion fruit pulp, creating a vibrant and textural topping that enhances the dessert’s visual appeal.
- Serve chilled for the most refreshing and luxurious tropical dessert experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and prevent lumpy texture.
- Chill mixing bowl and beaters beforehand for perfectly whipped cream with maximum volume.
- Substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut cream for a dairy-free version that maintains creamy consistency.
- Gently fold ingredients to preserve air bubbles, which create the mousse’s signature light and airy texture.
