Creamy passion fruit mousse cups are a quick, no-bake dessert bursting with tropical flavor and silky texture. This easy recipe blends passion fruit pulp, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream for a light, tangy treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup passion fruit pulp (fresh or frozen, about 46 fruits)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 packet (0.25 oz/7 g) unflavored gelatin (optional, dissolved in 2 tbsp warm water)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, extra cold
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Extra passion fruit pulp or seeds (for topping, optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Shaved coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut 4–6 fresh passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp (about 1 cup). If using frozen pulp, thaw completely.
  2. Strain the pulp through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle gelatin over 2 tbsp warm water, let stand 5 minutes, then heat gently until dissolved.
  4. In a blender, combine passion fruit pulp, sweetened condensed milk, and dissolved gelatin (if using). Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour mixture into a large bowl.
  6. In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to medium-soft peaks (about 2–3 minutes).
  7. Gently fold whipped cream into the passion fruit mixture in three batches until light and airy.
  8. Spoon mousse evenly into 6–8 serving cups (8 oz each). Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight for firmer texture.
  9. In another chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  10. Spoon or pipe whipped topping onto chilled mousse cups.
  11. Garnish with extra passion fruit pulp, seeds, mint leaves, or shaved coconut as desired.
  12. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Chill bowls and cream for best results. Gelatin is optional for firmer mousse. For vegan or dairy-free, use coconut cream and vegan condensed milk, and swap gelatin for agar-agar. Mousse can be made ahead and keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge. Add whipped topping just before serving for freshest texture.
