HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, table cream, and passion fruit pulp. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

02

Pour the mousse mixture into individual serving glasses or a large serving bowl.

03

In a small saucepan, combine the 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture forms a light syrup. This will be used for the optional garnish.

04

If using, carefully spoon the passion fruit syrup over the mousse. If using a fresh passion fruit, scoop out a small amount of pulp and seeds and place on top of each serving.

05

Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and chilled. For best results, chill overnight.

06

Serve cold and enjoy this delightful Brazilian dessert!

Chef's Tips

For an extra tangy flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the mousse mixture before blending. Ensure your passion fruit pulp is seedless if you prefer a completely smooth texture, or leave some seeds in for visual appeal and a slight textural contrast.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If table cream is unavailable, you can use heavy cream, though the texture might be slightly different. For a richer flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blender.

Storage & Reheating
