Ingredients

1 can condensed milk
10 passion fruit eight for the mousse, two for decorating
2 cups cream cold, for whipping
14 g unflavored gelatin

Instructions

Blend the pulp of eight passion fruit. Pass it through a strainer to get rid of the seeds and set it aside.
Mix that pulp with the condensed milk and stir until it is even.
With an electric mixer or a hand whisk, whip the cream until it holds soft peaks.
Hydrate the unflavored gelatin in a little warm water and set it aside.
Now fold the passion fruit mixture into the whipped cream and add the dissolved unflavored gelatin. Stir until the mixture is smooth throughout.
Pour it into individual moulds, cover them with plastic wrap and leave them in the fridge for several hours to set.
Turn them out and decorate with the pulp of the two remaining passion fruit.

Notes

The gelatine is unflavoured, in every step. One instruction on this page had lost its prefix and asked for flavoured gelatine, which is a completely different product: sweetened, coloured and already set to a fixed strength. Fourteen grams of the plain kind is what sets this. Let the dissolved gelatine cool for a moment before it meets the cream. Poured in hot it can seize into threads on contact with the cold mixture, and those threads never disappear. Whip the cream only to soft peaks, because folding the passion fruit and condensed milk in thickens it further, and cream taken to stiff peaks first ends up grainy by the time everything is combined. It needs several hours in the fridge and the recipe does not say how many. Judge it by the mould: when the surface springs back under a finger and the mousse pulls slightly away from the sides, it is set. Ten passion fruit sounds like a lot and it is not, because most of a passion fruit is seed and shell.
