Sunday Dessert - Passion Fruit Mousse

 Unlike Philippines, passion fruit (maracujá in portuguese) in Brazil is as common as banana. Meaning it is available the whole year round.  Musse de Maracujá is a usual Brazilian dessert and preparation is very easy . This is another brazilian cuisine that I would love to make for my family and friends in the Philippines. Here is the recipe,  originally in portuguese, thanks to my hubby for helping me translate it in english.

Ingredients

1 (12g) envelope colorless and flavorless gelatine

1 can condensed milk

1 can nestle cream

1 box passion fruit flavored gelatine

120ml concentrated passion fruit juice

Topping

1 medium-sized passion fruit

4 tablespoon sugar

Procedure

1. Pour nestle cream, condensed milk and passion fruit juice in a blender. Set aside.

2. Dissolve flavorless gelatine in conformity of to its cooking instruction written on the package. ( Mine was to dissolve the gelatine in a 250ml boiling water). Set aside until it gets warm.

3. Dissolve the passion fruit gelatine separately in a 250ml water (neither cold nor hot).

4. Mix them altogether in the blender on a medium speed until all the ingredients are well  mixed.

5. Put in the fridge for at least half an hour to get the mousse consistency.

Topping

1. In a sauce pan, mix passion fruit pulp and sugar until thickened.

 passion fruit based on my experience can be stored for a week without spoiling.

the recipe can be substituted with other fruits but i would recommend philippine mango. the taste of the the passion fruit mousse is somehow like our mango in the philippines. baguio strawberries can be a great option too.
