Brazilian Passion Fruit Mousse Food

PASSION FRUIT MOUSSE

Steps:

• Mix the gelatin and water in a small bowl, until the gelatin is hydrated. Microwave for 30 seconds (or heat on a double boiler) for the gelatin to melt. Cool slightly before using.
• Combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit pulp and melted gelatin in the blender. Blend for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the mousse to a large serving bowl or to 4 individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
• Top with the passion fruit sauce and serve!
• Combine the fresh passion fruit pulp and the sugar in a saucepan. Cook, over medium low heat, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts boiling. Lower the heat and continue cooking for another minute or two, or until it thickens slightly.
• Let the sauce cool to room temperature before using or refrigerating to use later.

BRAZILIAN PASSION FRUIT MOUSSE (MARACUJA)

Steps:

• Break passion fruits in half, and empty contents into a bowl. Use a little water to help rinse the juice out of the skins. Mix with hands to soften pulp. Strain through a sieve or cheesecloth. Stir in sugar and sweetened condensed milk.
• In a chilled bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the cream into the passion fruit mixture, then quickly fold in remaining cream until no streaks remain. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until it holds stiff peaks. Add the condensed milk, passionfruit puree and vanilla and beat until combined. Spoon the mousse into two 10- to 12-ounce bowls. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mousse is firm, at least 2 hours. If you have access to a fresh passionfruit, spoon a little of the fresh fruit on top. The mousse is also delicious with some granola sprinkled on top.

MARACUJA (PASSION FRUIT MOUSSE TRAYBAKE)

Steps:

• For the base, crush the biscuits in a bag with a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor. Add the butter and stir. Line a 20 x 30cm cake tin with non-stick baking parchment. Tip the biscuit mixture in and firmly press down. Chill.
• Mix the passion fruit flesh with the juice. Place the gelatine in a small bowl of cold water to soak. Pour the flesh and juice into a saucepan and heat until hot. Squeeze the water out of the gelatine, add to the pan and stir until dissolved, then remove and pour into a bowl.
• Add the milk and loosely whipped cream and fold together. Pour into the tin and chill until firm, about 2 hrs.
• For the coulis, purée 1 mango with the lime juice and sugar in a food processor, then stir to dissolve the sugar. Chop up the other mango.
• To serve, cut the traybake into squares. Top each one with the coulis, some chopped mango and passion fruit.

JOHND'S FANCY PASSION FRUIT MOUSSE

Steps:

• Cut the passion fruits in halves. Remove the pulp and seeds and licuify in your food processer. Save some of the seeds for garnishing.
• Strain the processed pulp. Mix the juice in the food processer with the condensed milk.
• Cut off a small portion of the bottoms of the passion fruit skin halves; enough for them to stand up like small cups. Fill these passion fruit cups with the processed condensed milk mixture.
• Place a red cherry on top of each cup and add as garnish a few passion fruit seeds that you previously saved, as well as a mint leaf (optional).
• Refrigerate for more than 1 hour. (This becomes "cooking time".).
