Directions
- 1
Add the condensed milk, passion fruit juice and heavy cream to a blender. Blend for 2 minutes on medium speed until completely smooth and slightly frothy.
- 2
For a firmer set, soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water, squeeze them out, then melt for 15 seconds in the microwave. Stir into the mixture and blend for 10 more seconds.
- 3
Divide the mousse between serving glasses or pour into a lightly greased loaf tin. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- 4
Just before serving, scoop out the pulp of the fresh passion fruit and spoon it over each portion, seeds and all, for a little crunch.
💡 Chef's Tip
Look for 100 % pure passion fruit juice with no added sugar — its acidity is what balances the sweet condensed milk. To unmould cleanly, dip the tin in hot water for 5 seconds before flipping it out.
