The Story Behind the Easy Passion Fruit Mousse
I was introduced to the idea of this easy passion fruit mousse by my darling sister-in-law who is from Brazil. She and her sister get together frequently via Facetime and cook together. Whenever they are able to visit each other in person, they plan out their gourmet menu and cook all weekend together.
As I was browsing my instagram stories, I happened upon one of their cooking sessions, and they were making passion fruit mousse. I had never even tasted passion fruit before, but knew it was a recipe that I was going to put at the top of my list to make.
So I asked her how to make it and researched a few different recipes online. While my sister-in-law recommended using table cream, I had a huge bottle of heavy cream from Costco taking up room in my fridge, so I decided to use this recipe. Hopefully my take and experience on this recipe will be helpful to you!
There are recipes out there that don’t call for gelatine. I really wanted a firm mousse, so having gelatin was important to me. The gelatin creates the absolute perfect texture. It’s soft and airy, which is what a mousse should be.
