Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk, table cream, and fresh passion fruits at local supermarkets or neighborhood fresh produce stalls (kiosks). If fresh passion fruit is unavailable, high-quality concentrated juice from the chilled juice section is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the condensed milk, table cream, and concentrated passion fruit juice into a blender
- Pulse until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated
- Pour the mixture into a decorative serving dish or individual ramekins
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set firm
- To speed up the process, you may place it in the freezer for about 30-40 minutes
- While the mousse is setting, prepare the sauce by mixing the sugar and water in a small saucepan
- Bring to medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and a light syrup forms
- Add the passion fruit pulp to the syrup and stir gently
- Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes just to warm the fruit and combine the flavors
- Remove from the heat and let it cool
- Once the mousse has set, spoon the passion fruit sauce over the top before serving
