I remembered once that I was at a very nice restaurant and had Passion Fruit Mousse. It was so good that I wanted to remember that soft, sweet taste...maybe forever.
Well I had been searching and searching online, off line, here and there and NEVER found the recipe of that dessert or even a similar picture.
Once, maybe six months ago, I wanted to print some recipes off and my printer stopped working so I just jotted the recipe down on a small scrap of paper.
It had been floating here and there, on the floor, on the freezer, in my receipts, in my Bible, just about anywhere I thought I would not loose it. Once it got soaked with water and I stuck it to my kitchen sink window to dry.
Well, Sunday I was going to have guests, so I pulled out this very weathered paper and decided to make my mousse.
It seemed so complicated and I wrote down abbreviations that I couldn't quite figure out. But anyway, I made the recipe. The finished product was so amazing, I think I finally found it!
Passion Fruit Mousse
2 envelopes of gelatin
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups of passion fruit juice
1 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice
1 small can condensed milk
2 cups whipping cream
6 egg whites
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1. Soften gelatin in water - wait until it dissolves - then mix in with the cooled juice.
2 Mix sugar, juice and condensed milk together and heat until the sugar dissolves- let cool 30 minutes in cold, ice water.
3. Whip the whipping cream - mix with the cooled passion fruit mixture
4. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar
5. Gently mix all together.
6. Add seeds for a garnish.
I don't know who wrote this recipe or where I got it off the internet, but it is amazing!

I love it when I finally find the RIGHT recipe! Glad you did.
do you really use raw egg whites? I'd love to try this one. Sounds so good.
Sounds good! Glad you found the recipe. I've saved recipes and have little collections all over, and hardly ever use them. They just sound good at the time. Oh, well, when I retire.....
I REALLY use raw egg whites! It is soo good!
