Venezuelan Passion Fruit Mousse Recipes

Steps:

• Special Equipment: martini glasses
• Place 1 tablespoon of passion fruit pulp in the bottom of 8 martini glasses or ramekins, totaling in 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp, set them aside.
• Using an electric mixer beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks. Whisk 1 1/4 cups of passion fruit pulp with the condensed milk in a large bowl, add 1/4 of the whipped cream and whisk it in. Fold in the remaining whipped cream and fill martini glasses or ramekins with some mousse. Drizzle some of the remaining passion fruit pulp over the top. Serve immediately or cover flush with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Serve cold with a mint sprig and a biscotti.

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.

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:

• Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat. Combine passion fruit pulp, sugar, and lime juice in the hot pan. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely.
• Sprinkle gelatin over water in a bowl. Let soften, about 5 minutes.
• Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
• Place softened gelatin in the top pan of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until dissolved, 2 to 4 minutes. Add lime-passion fruit mixture. Stir constantly until hot, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Transfer pan to the ice water bath. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
• Mix egg whites and cream of tartar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg white mixture, 1 spoonful at a time, into the cooled passion fruit mixture using a spatula. Spoon mousse carefully into 10 stemmed glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 6 hours.
• Let mousse stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

• 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. (I personally think it is better if you prepare this the nite before and let it set up overnight in the fridge.).

Steps:

• In a blender purée the frozen raspberries with the syrup, strain the purée through a fine sieve into a saucepan, and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, boil it, stirring, for 1 minute, and chill it, covered partially, until it is cold.
• Halve the passion fruits over a sieve set over a bowl to catch any juices and scoop the seeds and pulp into the sieve. Scrape the seeds with a spatula until the juice and most of the pulp has been extracted and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice. In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over moderate heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved completely. Add 1/3 cup water and the sugar, heat the mixture, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, and in a metal bowl combine well the gelatin mixture, the reserved passion fruit juice, and the food coloring.
• In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and reserve it. Chill the passion fruit mixture set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, stirring until it is the consistency of raw egg white and fold in the reserved whipped cream. Spoon the passion fruit mousse and the raspberry swirl mixture decoratively into four 1 1/2-cup goblets, chill overnight, and garnish them with the raspberries.

Steps:

• Make the blackberry layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the water and gelatin.
• In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the blackberry pulp to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and pour the pulp over the gelatin. Whisk to melt the gelatin completely. Add the blackberry powder, if using, and whisk until fully incorporated. Set aside to cool while you whip the cream.
• In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, whip until medium peaks form. Pour in the blackberry pulp mixture and fold with a rubber spatula completely combined.
• Divide the mixture evenly between 4 10-ounce glasses. Refrigerate while you make the guava layer.
