Refrigerate for at least one hour until set. Serve well chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
Passion fruit is the star here, so always taste before chilling and adjust the juice to balance the sweetness of the condensed milk against the fruit's acidity. Pour the topping over a well-chilled mousse so it sets on top instead of sinking. A swirl of cream or a few fresh passion fruit seeds before serving make it look and taste even better.
