Ingredients List
For the Creamy White Chocolate Mousse:
- 1 can (395 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (300 ml) heavy cream (use the condensed milk can for measurement)
- 1 cup (240 ml) concentrated passion fruit juice
- 1 bar (100 g) white chocolate, melted (for added richness and flavor)
Instructions
Step 1 — Melt the White Chocolate
Begin by melting the white chocolate. Break the bar of white chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
Step 2 — Prepare the Mousse Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- 1 can (395 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (300 ml) heavy cream (use the condensed milk can for measurement)
- 1 cup (240 ml) concentrated passion fruit juice
Whisk the mixture together until smooth and well combined.
Step 3 — Incorporate the White Chocolate
Slowly add the slightly cooled, melted white chocolate to the mousse mixture, stirring constantly until fully incorporated. This will give the mousse its rich and creamy texture while ensuring the chocolate blends evenly.
Step 4 — Chill the Mousse
Pour the mousse mixture into serving dishes, such as bowls, glasses, or ramekins. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours (or overnight) to allow the mousse to set and become thick and creamy. The mousse should firm up to a smooth, airy consistency.
Step 5 — Serve and Enjoy
Once the mousse has chilled, it’s ready to serve! Top with fresh fruit like berries, kiwi slices, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for added texture and flavor. Garnish with mint leaves for a fresh touch.
Additional Notes
- Texture Tip: For an even thicker mousse, you can fold in a small amount of whipped cream after the mousse has chilled for a lighter, airier texture.
- Flavor Variations: Add a tsp of vanilla extract or a splash of citrus zest to enhance the mousse’s flavor profile.
- Make Ahead: This mousse can be made 1–2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Vegan Option: To make this recipe vegan, swap the sweetened condensed milk for a coconut milk-based alternative and use vegan white chocolate. Use coconut cream or a dairy-free whipped cream alternative to achieve the creamy texture.
