PASSION FRUIT MOUSSE / MOUSSE DE MARACUJA.

This is truly a Brazilian desert. Simple, easy to make, elegant, flavorful ,creamy, velvety, sweet, tart, a complete party into your mouth. Although it is so simple to make, this desert can be presented in a luxury way if you use  beautiful individual containers as shown at the photos. It will make anyone eat first with their eyes, than with their mouth, and be delighted. In Brazil we make it with natural passion fruit juice, just squeezed from the fruit, and garnish it with passion fruit seeds and pulp. Here in the U.S  I make it with store bought concentrate passion fruit juice and decided to add nutella to add a little more of sweetness to contrast with the natural tartness of the fruit, and garnish it with blueberries because it is their season, it pairs perfect with the mousse, adds color, texture, and just because they are delicious and gorgeous. 

INGREDIENTS:

28 oz of sweetened condensed milk. (2 cans of 14 oz each)

28 oz  of creme de leite (2 cans of 14 oz each)

28 oz of concentrate passion fruit juice, or the same amount of fresh natural passion fruit juice.

Nutella and blueberries for garnish.

Into a blender place the condensed milk, the concentrate juice or natural juice of the fruit, and the creme de leite. Beat until smooth. Pour into a large glass container or pour it into individual containers as shown on  pictures. Place at the refrigerator for at least three hours,although over night is better, and you will have a creamy and delicious mousse.When is time for serving , garnish it with nutella and blueberries.

TIPS:
It is better to garnish the mousse at serving time because nutella solidifies at the refrigerator, and it is better if it is soft.
The secret in this recipe is to measure equal amount of each ingredient. To ensure that the mousse will be firm enough. We do not need to use gelatin because passion fruit have its natural pectin that helps thicken  the mousse texture.
The passion fruit juice can be naturally squeezed from the fruit, or commercial concentrate.
You always can find these ingredients at stores which sells Mexican or Brazilian food.


Voila.

MOUSSE DE MARACUJÁ COM BLUEBERRIES.
Mousse de maracujá é uma sobremesa verdadeiramente Brasileira. E muito fácil e rápido de fazer, mas nem por isso deixa de ser elegante, e deliciosa, se voce servi-la com carinho,  capricho, e um pouco de criatividade. Já que aqui nos EUA é difícil de encontrar o maracujá in natura, eu usei suco concentrado, e para dar um up eu decorei com blueberries e nutela. Resultado, ficou uma delicia! E muito elegante.

Ingredientes:
2 latas de leite condensado
2 latas de creme de leite
2 latas de suco de maracuja (use a latinha do leite condensado como medida) Voce pode usar o suco natural do maracuja tambem.
250-300g de blueberries
Nutela para enfeitar.

Bata no liquidificador o leite condensado, o creme de leite, e o suco do maracuja. Coloque em taças ou outro tipo de containers de cristal, enfeite com blueberries e nutela.

OBS: Coloque a nutela em temperatura ambiente na hora de servir, porque nutela solidifica na geladeira e nao fica legal.

Voilá.
