Ingredients

For the mousse:

1 cup fresh passion fruit pulp with seeds , (I used 6 passion fruits)
1/2 cup (190g) mango puree
½ cup (100 g) sugar
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons (45 ml) water
2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream

For the topping:

1/3 cup fresh passion fruit pulp with seeds , (I used 2 passion fruits)
2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar

Instructions

The mousse:

Strain the pulp of passion fruits to get about ½ cup of juice. In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit juice, mango puree, and sugar. Cook, over medium low heat, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts boiling. Lower the heat and let simmer while stirring for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
Mix the gelatin and water together in a small bowl. Microwave the gelatin mixture for 30 seconds and continue to mix until the gelatin has dissolved. Pour melted gelatin into mango and passion fruit mixture and stir to combine completely.
Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Add half of whipped cream to the cooled mango and passion fruit mixture and gently fold until combined. Then fold in the remaining half.
Pour prepared mango and passion fruit mousse into 6 small dessert glasses, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.

The topping:

In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit pulp with seeds and sugar. Cook, over medium low heat, until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer while stirring for minute or two, or until thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and cool completely at room temperature before using.
Spread the topping on top of the chilled mousse right before serving.
