Another fun variation is to layer the mousse with a crispy base, such as crumbled graham crackers or cookie crumbs, for a contrast of textures.
For a more intense passion fruit flavor, stir in a little homemade passion fruit cream before refrigerating. You can also experiment with other fruit juices, such as mango, lime or strawberry, to create different flavours while maintaining the same smooth base.
For
best results, make sure all ingredients are cold before mixing; This allows the foam to set faster and gives it a lighter texture.
If your passion fruit juice is too acidic, adjust the sweetness by adding a little more condensed milk or a pinch of confectioners’ sugar.
If you don’t have a blender, you can whisk the ingredients by hand, but make sure to mix well until smooth.
For an extra-airy foam, whip the heavy cream separately until soft peaks form before gently stirring it into the condensed milk and passion fruit mixture.
To avoid air bubbles when pouring the foam into the ramekins, gently tap the ramekins on the work surface before refrigerating.
For a professional touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves, a drizzle of caramel or lime zest before serving.
How to store

For longer storage, you can freeze the mousse for up to a month. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving, but note that its texture may become slightly denser after freezing.
