Expert Tips for the Best Mousse
- Ensure all ingredients are **cold** before blending—this helps the mousse set faster and gives it a lighter texture.
- If your passion fruit juice is too tart, adjust the sweetness by adding a little more condensed milk or a pinch of powdered sugar.
- For an **extra-fluffy mousse**, whip the heavy cream separately to soft peaks before folding it into the condensed milk and passion fruit mixture.
- To prevent air bubbles, gently **tap the cups on the counter** before chilling.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkle of lime zest for a professional touch.
How to Store
- Store the mousse in an **airtight container** in the **refrigerator** for up to **3 days**.
- For longer storage, you can **freeze** the mousse for up to a month. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving (note: texture may be denser).
- Add any fresh garnishes (like fruit or whipped cream) just before serving.
- Avoid leaving it at room temperature for more than an hour.
