πŸ•’ Prep Time: 25 min

🍳 Chill Time: 1-2 hours
🍽️ Servings: 4

πŸ‘ Ingredients

Mousse:

  • 4 ripe peaches (soft)
  • 3 passion fruits
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Β½ packet unflavored gelatin
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (vanilla optional)

Yogurt Base:

  • 200 g yogurt
  • 200 g cold whipping cream (chilled 15 min in freezer)
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar (vanilla optional)

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Base

  • Whisk the yogurt in a bowl until smooth.
  • Whip the chilled cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt in three parts to maintain airiness.
  • Divide the creamy mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the fridge while preparing the mousse.

2. Prepare the Peach & Passion Fruit Mousse

  • Blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then peel and pit. Cut into pieces and place in a blender.
  • Cut passion fruits in half and scoop pulp through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Add the pulp to the peaches in the blender.
  • Blend until smooth (about 1 minute).
  • Transfer the fruit puree to a small saucepan, add granulated sugar, and gently warm until sugar dissolves (do not boil). Remove from heat.
  • Soak gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes, then stir into the warm fruit puree until fully dissolved. Let cool to room temperature (use a cold water bath to speed this).

3. Whip the Egg White

  • Beat egg white until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.

4. Combine and Chill

  • Fold the egg white foam gently into the cooled fruit puree in three additions, preserving as much air as possible.
  • Spoon the mousse over the chilled yogurt base in glasses.
  • Refrigerate at least 1-2 hours until mousse is set.

πŸ’‘ Tips

  • Use fully ripe peaches for maximum natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Gently fold whipped cream and egg whites to keep the dessert light and airy.
  • Prepare the gelatin carefully to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth mousse.
  • Chill adequately for best texture and refreshing taste.
