Delicious Passion Fruit Mousse Recipe - Easy Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup passion fruit pulp (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (unflavored)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for gelatin)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup passion fruit seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Gelatin

    Dissolve the gelatin powder in water and let it sit for 5 minutes.

    Make sure the water is cold for best results.
  2. Heat the Gelatin

    Gently heat the gelatin mixture over low heat until fully dissolved, then remove from heat.

    Do not let it boil.
  3. Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form.

    Avoid overwhipping to keep the mousse light.
  4. Beat Egg Whites

    In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

    Ensure no yolk is in the whites for proper whipping.
  5. Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix the passion fruit pulp, sugar, and vanilla. Gradually add the gelatin mixture, then fold in the whipped cream and beaten egg whites.

    Fold gently to maintain airiness.
  6. Chill the Mousse

    Pour the mixture into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.

    Cover with plastic wrap to avoid absorption of odors.
  7. Garnish and Serve

    Before serving, top with passion fruit seeds and enjoy your mousse.

    Serve chilled for best flavor.
