Ingredients
- For the Mousse:

- 1 cup (265g) passion fruit pulp or unsweetened juice concentrate
- For the Topping:
- Pulp of two fresh passion fruits with seeds (about ⅓ cup)

Instructions
1. Making the Passion Fruit Mousse:
- Start by mixing the gelatin with water in a small bowl. Ensure the gelatin is fully hydrated, then microwave for 30 seconds or heat it over a double boiler until it melts. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
- In a blender, combine the cold heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit pulp, and the melted gelatin. Blend everything together for about 5 minutes until it is well mixed and smooth.
- Pour the blended mousse into a large serving bowl or divide into four individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the mousse to set.
2. Making the Topping:
- In a small saucepan, mix the fresh passion fruit pulp with sugar. Cook this mixture over medium-low heat until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for another minute or two until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. You can also refrigerate it if you prefer to use it chilled.
Serving
- Once the mousse has set, spoon the passion fruit topping over each serving. The vibrant topping not only adds a burst of flavor but also makes this dessert a feast for the eyes.
