Passion Fruit and Lemon Mousse
- Ingredients
- 8 passion fruit
- 1 lemon (juice only)
- 3 eggs (separated)
- 90gm caster sugar
- 200ml cream
- 16 amaretti biscuits
- Method
- Cut 4 passion fruit in half, scoop out the pulp with a teaspoon and push through a fine sieve. This juice will be used in making the mousse.
- Remove the pulp from the remaining passion fruit; reserve the seeds and pulp in a small bowl. This will be used for layering the mousse.
- In a large heatproof bowl, combine the strained juice with the lemon juice, egg yolks and sugar.
- Sit the bowl over a pan of boiling water and whisk for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes mousse-like. Remove from the heat and leave the mousse mixture to cool.
- Whisk the cream until lightly whipped, and fold into the cooled fruit mixture with a large metal spoon.
- Whisk the egg whites to soft peak stage, and fold into the passion fruit mixture.
- Crumble the Amaretti biscuits, and divide between 4 dessert wine glasses.
- Half fill the wine glasses with the mousse mixture. Spoon over half the reserved passion fruit pulp.
- Sprinkle over more crumbled Amaretti biscuits, and cover with the remaining mousse. Finish with a layer of passion fruit pulp. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
