Anything with the word passion gets me, and passion fruit I happen to LOOOOVE! Have you seen the flower? Isn't it one the most beautiful nature creations or what? The white flowers, with purple to pink crown blooms, remind me of summers in Brazil. How about the smell of the fruit? It smells like love, I mean passion. I tend to get those confused! I guess because those two overlap in my world. This is a passion inducing plant that happens to be a sedative. And hey, sorry to disappoint you, the fruit, Maracuja, as is called in Brazil, will actually make you sleepy. The juice is given to babies to help the little ones have sweet dreams. So if you’re thinking about an aphrodisiac experience, you’d better stick with the oysters and the chocolate thing. But you can, and should, enjoy the tart and, yummy, taste of all this passion in a Mousse de Maracujá. No expectations really, except for a great tasting desert, by the end of the night!
Mouse de Maracujá (Passion Fruit Mousse)
1 can of condensed milk
1 can of heavy cream
Fill one empty can of condensed milk with the concentrate juice of passion fruit
Bring it all to a blender and mix it. Pour the mousse in individual bowls and bring to the refrigerator. Let it chill, around 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, add a small spoon of passion fruit with seeds directly over the mouse to decorate it.
This is such an easy dessert to make that it’s almost embarrassing. But we’re talking about results here. I guarantee, this is so good you won’t have to reveal how long it took to put it together!
