The recipe that I bring today was the dessert I made for a dinner with friends at home. As it was a hot day, I wanted something cold, fast and simple. And nothing is faster and tastes better than a passion fruit mousse, right? But as I wanted something different I decided to put a layer of white chocolate. It was divine, the contrast of the sourness of the syrup and the sweetness of the white chocolate was delicious. One of my friends said it was one of the best desserts she’s ever eaten. The picture, I had to take it quickly, so it is not great and I didn’t decorate with seeds, but if you want you can decorate. Oh and you can make the mousse into a large dish or individuals, I think it looks prettier in the individuals, but I didn’t have enough for everyone…hehe. The recipe is great for a lot of people, so maybe you could just make half.

Hi can you pls tell me what you mean by ‘heavy cream’?
Is it evaporated milk and what are the amounts as it comes in 2 different sizes.
@anna, Hi Anna, it’s not evaporated milk it’s more creamy, with 35-40% milk fat. And in this recipe you’ll use the condensed milk can to measure the cream, ok?
