To Bloom Gelatin :

  2. Microwave for a few seconds for the gelatin to liquify. You can also do this on a double boiler. Let it cool slightly  before using.
To Make The Passion Fruit Mousse:
  1. In a Blend add passion fruit pulp or the juice, sweet condensed milk, heavy cream and liquid gelatin. Blend the ingredients until is all blended.
  2. Pour the mousse into the pie pre baked, or individual serving glasses. You can make any crust you would like to. you can make cookie oreo , or nuts crust.
    To finish my mousse, I made a delicious Passion fruit sauce from the Passion fruit, not from the concentrated juice. And I drizzled it on the mousse. Recipe below!
    Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cut.
