Mousse de maracujá

It is said that if Brazil had to declare a national dessert, it would most likely be mousse de maracujá, or passion fruit mousse. The dessert consists of fresh passion fruit, sweetened milk, and creme de leite, a product similar to evaporated milk.

Since it is quick and easy to prepare mousse de maracujá, it is a staple of numerous Brazilian bakeries, restaurants, and dinner parties. It is recommended to serve the mousse in parfait glasses and top it with whipped cream as the best way to enjoy its decadent, tropical flavors.
