Instructions
- Cut the maracudjas in half, scoop out the pulp and seeds, then pass them through a fine sieve to get about 150 ml of juice.
- Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 10 minutes.
- Separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks with 75 g of sugar until pale and creamy.
- Gently heat the passion fruit juice with half the zest, then off the heat, stir in the squeezed gelatine.
- Pour the warm juice over the sweet yolks while whisking, then return everything to a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring, until the cream coats the spoon (do not boil). Let it cool.
- Whip the very cold cream into firm chantilly. Beat the whites into stiff peaks with the remaining sugar.
- Gently fold the whipped cream, then the egg whites, into the passion fruit cream with a spatula, using up-and-down movements.
- Divide the mousse among 4 glasses and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
Variations and tips
Lighter version. Replace the cream with well-drained 0% fromage blanc and halve the sugar.
Using what's available. If you can't find passion fruit, use 150 ml of canned or carton passion fruit pulp.
