A light, silky smooth vegan mousse bursting with tropical passion fruit flavor, perfect for quick and refreshing summer desserts. This dairy-free treat is easy to make and delightfully creamy without heaviness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned coconut cream, chilled overnight
  • ½ cup (120 ml) passion fruit pulp, fresh or frozen/thawed
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g) agar agar powder
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water
  • Optional garnish: fresh passion fruit seeds or pulp, toasted coconut flakes, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Chill the coconut cream overnight in the fridge to thicken.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine agar agar powder with water. Bring to a gentle boil while whisking constantly, then simmer for 1-2 minutes until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly without setting.
  3. Scoop the thickened coconut cream into a chilled bowl and whip with a hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy with soft peaks, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix passion fruit pulp, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  5. Slowly whisk the warm agar agar liquid into the passion fruit mixture to combine smoothly.
  6. Gently fold the passion fruit-agar mixture into the whipped coconut cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  7. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  8. Before serving, garnish with fresh passion fruit seeds, toasted coconut flakes, or mint leaves as desired.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut cream chilled overnight for best whipping results. Dissolve agar agar fully to avoid gritty texture. Fold mixtures gently to keep mousse airy. Chill at least 2 hours to set properly. Adjust sweetness based on passion fruit pulp tartness. Fresh passion fruit seeds add texture and aroma. For a lower-fat version, use light coconut milk but expect less richness.
