Frozen Passion Fruit Mousse

By Andrew Zimmern

This passion fruit mousse with coconut and lichee nuts is my idea of the perfect tropical dessert.

Frozen Passion Fruit Mousse


Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1   3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 ounces Alize passion fruit liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons passion fruit puree, Goya makes a nice one that’s available in most markets. Don’t use juice!

Garnish

  • Lichee nuts, canned are fine
  • Toasted unsweetened coconut
  • Pulp of  3 ripe fresh passion fruit

Instructions

SERVINGS: 6 

Whip the egg yolks and sugar in a food mixer with a whisk attachment until stiff. Reserve.

Whip the cream until stiff. Fold cream into eggs. Fold in the Alize, passion fruit puree and orange zest.

Using a spatula, put the mousse in a pastry bag fitted with a conventional large spout tip.

Divide the passion fruit mousse into six wine glasses or small glass bowls. Freeze for 4 hours. Garnish with some lychee, fresh passion fruit and toasted coconut, and serve.

NOTES The passion fruit mousse may be made a day in advance (do not put the garnishes on in advance).
