Brazilian Passion Fruit Mousse (Maracuja)
SUBMITTED BY:
VALERIEKOOKA
"This is Brazilian favorite (and an old family recipe), and takes no cooking at all. It's a little tart and tangy for those of you who don't like your desserts to be too sweet."

DIRECTIONS
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.

This was nothing like a mousse. It ended up being a cream consistancy which didn't set at all. The taste however was beautiful. It would probably work better as a side dish ie. to serve on the side with fresh fruit or with a sponge cake. Passionfruit Cream would be a more appropriate name!

This recipe is wonderful! I used a can of frozen passion fruit juice instead of fresh and it was still fabulous. This recipe is a keeper. UPDATED VARIATION: I have tried this with limeade concentrate and it is great! I pour it into two graham cracker pie shells and let it sit for three hours to overnight before serving. It makes a light, tart summer treat.

This is a great recipe and I've already made it 3 times. Three notes: one, condensed milk is already so sweet, I don't add sugar. second, in order for it to have a mousse consistency, it's best to let it sit in the refrigerator overnight (if it doesn't refrigerate long enough, it will taste yummy but won't have the right consistency). The last note is that once I didn't have enough passion fruit juice, I added lemon juice - it turned out really great! Since (as I've mentioned) condensed milk is so sweet, I'd imagine you can substitute the passion fruit with citrus/acid fruits.

I've made this twice now, and had rave reviews both times. The first time I used one can of passionfruit pulp in syrup, because we can't get frozen juice here, and passionfruits are too expensive. I also cut out the sugar. Mine set overnight, you also have to be very careful when folding in the passionfruit mixture not to knock the air out of your cream. The second time I made it, I used two cans of passionfruit, and kept the sugar, and instead of setting in the fridge overnight, used my ice cream machine to make the most awesome icecream anyone in my house has tasted. Next time I make it I will go back to one can, but this is a keeper for my family. Nice mousse, brilliant ice cream!

This is an amazing recipe -- easy, exotic, flavorful, delicious. I was looking for something to do with the fruit from my passionfruit vine, and this is it. It's a simple yet impressive dessert to serve your dinner guests. It would also be a great ending to a romantic meal for two. If you're not familiar with the flavor of passion fruit, definitely try it.

Passion fruit mousse is a favorite of mine here in Rio. I also find the creamy texture (which Brazilians love) to be a little sloppy. I use six passion fruit - I find blending the pulp and seeds in a baby mixer, then sieving the bits out leaves to a niced texture, but that's just me. Blend the juice with equal amounts of condensed milk to heavy cream. An electric hand mixer seems to get a good consistency. I also add a third to one half of a packet of gelatine, just to make it set that little bit firmer. It does not need any sugar as passion fruit are sweet enough usually. Good luck.

This was slightly addictive. I made this using one can of frozen Old Orchard 100% Juice Apple passion mango juice and omitted the sugar. It was really sweet. Next time, I might double the cream to offset the sweetness. I refridgerated for about 5 hours and it was almost set. I recommend overnight as the others did. Brough to my latin night supper club and everyone loved it. I did use it as "topping" for the Grenadian Spice Cake. Would totally make again experimenting with different frozen juices. Would love to try it as an ice cream. So Easy!!!

Wow, easy and delicious. I also used frozen passionfruit juice and followed the reviewers advice to refrigerate overnight. Mine set without a problem. Perfect make ahead dessert for a tropical themed dinner party. Beware, though--it's rich! Edited to add that it freezes surprisingly well, too!
