Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets, such as Shoprite or Melcom, specifically in the baking, canned goods, and fresh produce sections. If you cannot find fresh passion fruit, you may use high-quality bottled passion fruit nectar as a substitute for the juice, though fresh fruit is recommended for the syrup.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the condensed milk, table cream, and the concentrated passion fruit juice.
- Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Pour the mixture into a decorative serving dish or individual ramekins.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is well set.
- If you are short on time, you can place it in the freezer for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- While the mousse is setting, prepare the sauce: combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan.
- Place over medium heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup reaches a thin consistency.
- Gently stir the passion fruit pulp into the syrup.
- Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, just long enough to warm through and meld the flavours.
- Remove from the heat.
- Once the mousse has set, spoon the passion fruit sauce over the top before serving.
