Passion Fruit Mousse Recipe
Friday night you are finally here! I can sleep in tomorrow and watch TV all night! My hubby and I have tons of stuff recorded on the DVR that we are dying to see, the first one is the new season of Shameless.
Oh, how I’ve missed them. We plan to sit in front of the TV while munching on this Passion Fruit Mousse.
Don’t be fooled by the cake shape. It’s a creamy mousse that can be eaten with a spoon and displayed in a big bowl. You see in this shape I have a weird phobia of using baking pans and bowls to present desserts…
There’s nothing wrong with it, I am just weird. But in my defense, it does look very pretty. I serve it with a tangy passion fruit reduction on top to enhance flavor and texture.
I love this recipe because it’s delicious and there’s no eggs inside, so if you’re concerned about foodborne illnesses you can give this Passion Fruit Mousse Recipe the green light. This mousse is so delicate, simple, and very easy to make. Here’s step by step photos of the process:
If you’re hosting a family event, party, or small get-together, serve this passion fruit to your guests and I promise that they will be thrilled. Passion Fruit has a very tropical and tangy flavor that balances well with the creamy mousse. Like biting a soft pillow.
You can serve this up in a big bowl, individual ramekins, cups, or even those cute glasses. That will make for a nice and elegant presentation or serve it in the shape of a cake like I did and cut slices. You can add candied almonds or pecans on top for a little sweet crunch up top.
I hope you can make this Passion Fruit Mousse Recipe at home and please come back and tell me how it came out!
