Where to find ingredients
In Zambia, you can find condensed milk and pouring cream in almost any major supermarket like Shoprite or Pick n Pay. For the concentrated passion fruit juice, look in the cordial or juice aisle. Fresh passion fruits are widely available at local markets or the produce section of supermarkets; if you're buying fresh fruit, simply scoop out the seeds and pulp for that authentic touch. If you cannot find 'concentrated' juice, you can use pure passion fruit nectar, but reduce the amount slightly to ensure the mousse sets properly.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, light cream, and the concentrated passion fruit juice in a blender
- Whizz everything on high speed for about 10 minutes to ensure a wonderfully airy and fluffy texture
- Pour the mixture into a serving dish
- Scatter the fresh passion fruit pulp over the top of the mousse
- Pop it in the fridge for 2 hours to set before serving
Observations
This recipe is a fantastic go-to for a quick, fuss-free dessert. It captures that authentic tropical zest of maracujá while keeping things lighter by using reduced-fat dairy alternatives.
