  • Total Time: 4 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Mango Passion Fruit Coulis

  • 6 passion fruits
  • ½ cup sweetened mango pulp
  • ½ cup passionfruit pulp (about 7-8 small passion fruits or store-bought)

Mango Passion Fruit Mousse

  • 1 cup sweetened mango pulp
  • ½ cup passionfruit pulp (fresh or store-bought)
  • ½ teaspoon agar-agar powder
  • 1 ½ cups coconut cream (or full fat canned coconut milk)
  • 4.3 oz vegan white chocolate (use nut-free brand if needed)
  • ⅓ cup aquafaba
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar (or lemon juice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mango Passion Fruit Coulis: Scoop the pulp and seeds from the 6 passion fruits into a saucepan along with ½ cup sweetened mango pulp and ½ cup passionfruit pulp. Simmer gently for 10 minutes to meld flavors, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature while preparing the mousse.
  2. Extract Passion Fruit Pulp: If using fresh passion fruit for the mousse, scoop out the flesh and pass it through a fine sieve to separate seeds, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract all pulp.
  3. Cook Mango Passion Fruit Base: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sweetened mango pulp and ½ cup passionfruit pulp and gently simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir in ½ teaspoon agar-agar powder and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes while whisking continuously to activate the agar-agar. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat Coconut Cream and Melt Chocolate: Without cleaning the saucepan, add 1 ½ cups coconut cream and warm over medium heat until gently simmering. Remove from heat and add 4.3 oz vegan white chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes and then stir until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the cooled mango passion fruit mixture into the warm white chocolate and coconut cream, stirring continuously to combine thoroughly. Allow mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes or until it reaches room temperature. To speed cooling, place the bowl in an ice bath.
  6. Whip Aquafaba: In a clean large bowl, combine ⅓ cup aquafaba and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar (or lemon juice). Use an electric mixer to whip for about 8 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  7. Fold Aquafaba into Mousse Base: Gently fold the whipped aquafaba into the cooled mango passion fruit and white chocolate mixture, adding one large spoonful at a time until fully incorporated, maintaining the airy texture.
  8. Assemble the Dessert: Spoon a couple of tablespoons of mango passion fruit coulis into the bottom of each serving jar. Then add the mousse on top, filling each jar.
  9. Chill to Set: Place the jars in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture and flavor development.
  10. Storage: Store finished mousse jars in the fridge in airtight containers and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat canned coconut milk or coconut cream to ensure a rich and creamy mousse.
  • Use a nut-free vegan white chocolate if allergies are a concern.
  • Aquafaba is the liquid from canned chickpeas and acts as an egg white substitute when whipped.
  • If fresh passion fruit is not available, store-bought passion fruit pulp can be used for convenience.
  • The agar-agar powder is essential to help the mousse set without gelatin, keeping it vegan.
  • Setting time can be extended overnight if preferred for a firmer texture.
