✎
HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

If using frozen lucuma pulp, thaw it completely in the refrigerator.

02

In a medium bowl, combine the lucuma pulp, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.

03

In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.

04

Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the lucuma mixture to lighten it.

05

Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the mousse.

06

Divide the mousse among 4 serving glasses or ramekins.

07

Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.

08

Before serving, sprinkle each mousse with a pinch of ground cinnamon.

Chef's Tips

For best results, ensure your heavy cream and mixing bowl are very cold before whipping. This helps the cream whip up faster and hold its volume better. You can also chill your serving glasses for an extra touch.

Easy Substitutions

If fresh or frozen lucuma pulp is unavailable, you can use 1/2 cup of lucuma powder mixed with 1/2 cup of water to create a pulp-like consistency. Adjust sweetness to taste.

Storage & Reheating
