save this recipe!Fluffy, Fruity Bliss
If you’re craving a dessert that’s light, refreshing, and incredibly easy to make, this passion fruit mousse is exactly what you need. Unlike so many mousse recipes that call for gelatin or eggs, this one is all about simplicity—no stove required, just three simple ingredients and a hand mixer!
Mousse without gelatin makes for a soft and fluffy dessert, and the bright tropical flavor takes it to another level.
Here’s What You’ll Need
- Passion Fruit Puree: Create a taste of the tropics with this flavor-packed nectar. Some stores sell frozen passion fruit puree, but you can also make your own passion fruit puree.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This ingredient is a great way to sweeten mousse since the sugar is already dissolved in liquid.
- Whipping Cream: Whipping cream is the secret ingredient that gives us the perfect light, airy texture without eggs or gelatin.
Passion Fruit Tip
Passion fruit puree is the juicy yellow portion of the fruit. The pulp on the inside contains both the seeds and the puree. It is all completely edible, but use only the puree when making the mousse for the best texture. You can top it with the full pulp for a great color and texture contrast.
Making Mousse without Gelatin Is So Easy!
Skip the stove! Everything stays nice and cool in this easy recipe. No gelatin, no eggs—just the power of the whisk.
Step 1: Whisk The Milk And Puree
Measure your passion fruit puree into a measuring cup, then pour in the condensed milk and whisk to combine.
Step 2: Whip The Cream
Chill the whipping cream before turning on your hand mixer. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks when you lift up the beaters. Be careful to stop when you get stiff peaks—if you overmix, the cream can separate.
Step 3: Fold The Fruit
Gently fold the passion fruit mixture into the whipped cream.
Step 4: Serve The Mousse
Pull out your fancy dishes and scoop the mousse. From here, you can serve it as is or chill it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve (it will firm up as it chills).
Recipe tips
Sweet As Sugar: Sweetened condensed milk provides a perfectly thick consistency and level of sweetness. Make sure you have condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
Whisk It Real Good: If you don’t have a hand mixer, use the whisk attachment on your stand mixer. You can do this with a handheld whisk, but it takes a very long time!
Top It Up: Try garnishing your passion fruit mousse with pomegranate arils or mini chocolate chips on top for a fun twist!
Mousse on the Loose
This passion fruit mousse is certainly a sweet treat on its own, but since it is so light and tropical, I think it’s fun to pair it with other dessert dishes.
- Chocolate Mousse Pie: Why not top your mousse with…more mousse? Passion fruit mousse would make such a nice bright contrast on top of chocolate pie.
