HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the passion fruit pulp. Stir well until thoroughly combined.

02

In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the cold evaporated milk with an electric mixer on high speed until it doubles in volume and becomes light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

03

Gently fold the whipped evaporated milk into the passion fruit mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air. Fold until just combined.

04

Add the granulated sugar and lime juice to the mousse mixture. Stir gently to incorporate, tasting and adjusting sugar if needed for your preferred sweetness.

05

Pour the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large dessert bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

06

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a few fresh passion fruit seeds or a mint sprig.

Chef's Tips

For best results, ensure your evaporated milk is very cold before whipping; chilling the bowl and beaters can also help. If using frozen passion fruit pulp, thaw it completely before use. You can strain the passion fruit pulp for a smoother mousse, or leave the seeds in for texture.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If fresh passion fruit is unavailable, you can use good quality frozen passion fruit pulp. For a richer mousse, you can substitute heavy cream for the evaporated milk, though the texture will be denser.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover Peruvian Passion Fruit Mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It does not freeze well due to its delicate, airy texture.
