Authentic Venezuelan Passion Fruit Mousse Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup passion fruit pulp (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin powder (unflavored)
  • 1 cup water (for gelatin)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.

    Ensure the water is cold to allow proper blooming.
  2. Mix the Egg Yolks

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Slowly add the passion fruit pulp.

    Use fresh passion fruit for the best flavor.
  3. Heat the Mixture

    Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

    Use a thermometer to ensure the mixture doesn't exceed 160°F.
  4. Dissolve the Gelatin

    Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

    Avoid adding gelatin to hot mixtures directly to prevent clumping.
  5. Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled passion fruit mixture until combined.

    Fold gently to maintain the airy texture of the cream.
  6. Chill the Mousse

    Pour the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.

    For best results, chill overnight.
