A tropical Venezuelan mousse: tangy passion fruit pulp folded into a sweet condensed-milk-and-cream base set light with gelatin, brightened by whipped egg white. Cool, airy and intensely fruity, it's a dessert that tastes like the tropics. A few mint leaves and extra pulp on top make it as pretty as it is refreshing.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tbsp Unflavoured Gelatin
  • 1 Passion Fruit Pulp
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 Can Condensed Milk
  • 6 Egg White
  • 1 Sprig Mint

Instructions

  1. Add gelatin and ¼ cup room-temperature water to small bowl; let sit until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together passion fruit pulp, sugar and gelatin mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth (mixture should not come to a boil). Remove from heat; cool completely. Stir in condensed milk.
  2. Meanwhile, in clean mixing bowl, using electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff (peaks of egg whites will not droop, and egg whites will not move when bowl is tilted).
  3. Stir 1/3 egg whites into cooled passion fruit mixture until combined. Using spatula, gently fold in remaining egg whites until combined. Divide mousse evenly among clear glass serving cups; cover. Refrigerate mousse until well chilled, at least 2 hrs.
  4. Serve chilled. Garnish with mint, if desired.
