A\u00a0week ago I was thrilled to find\u00a0exceptionally aromatic and sweet organic passion fruits\u00a0and then\u00a0wondered what dessert I could include them in&#8230; Finally, I thought the cleaner the\u00a0flavours, the better. I&#8217;m glad I steered away from chocolate and strong tasting ingredients this time because this simple yogurt mousse proved perfect enhancer\u00a0of\u00a0the intense flavours of passion fruit. While shopping the\u00a0following Friday\u00a0I even didn&#8217;t look cravingly at strawberries and headed straight to passion fruits&#8217; corner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TIPS: I often make several individual portions of my light yogurt mousse-based desserts (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/?page_id=12647\" target=\"_blank\">see some of them here<\/a>) and they keep perfectly several days in the fridge. This one is no exception (of course passion fruit should be added just before you eat).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whatever the form of gelatin, it&#8217;s always indicated how much you need in order to set a certain amount of liquid. I don&#8217;t want to obtain here a stiff jelly-like texture, but something similar to a mousse, so I always check the advised amount and use only about 3\/4 of it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the first time I used\u00a0here only full-fat natural yogurt, but the following\u00a0time I wanted it richer\/creamier, so I\u00a0reduced\u00a0the amount of yogurt (see below) and added a bit of cream (mine was half-fat). It was just heavenly and still remained a light dessert.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instead of normal full fat yogurt you can use here Greek yogurt or very smooth (mixed) fresh cheese\/curd cheese\/quark\/, also called fromage frais\/serek homogenizowany)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ripe passion fruits have wrinkled skin (I learnt it very recently!), but if you buy smooth ones, you can put them at room temperature and wait until they ripen. Afterwards keep them in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p><em>Preparation: 5 minutes+at least 2\u00a0hours in the fridge<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients (serves 4-5):\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>500 ml\u00a0 (about 17 fl oz) unsweetened full-fat yogurt (or\u00a0see the TIPS above<em>) or, if you want this dessert richer and creamier: 450 ml yogurt+50 ml cream<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>3\/4 of the amount of gelatin necessary to set 500ml\/17fl oz of liquid (usually 1 tablespoon gelatin or 6 \u2013 8 sheets, depending on the size\/brand, so\u00a0check well the package and reduce the amount to about 3\/4, see the TIPS above)+<\/em><em>4 tablespoons warm water (I prefer to use hot water with powdered gelatin)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>4 flat tablespoons confectioner\u2019s sugar or sweetener of your choice<\/em><\/p>\n<p><i>4-5 passion fruits (or more, depends on the size; I count 1 big per person or 1 and half of smaller ones)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Dissolve the gelatin in 4 tablespoons warm or hot (not boiling) water.
