Method
Prepare Mousse
- 1
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- 2
Prepare Gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 50 ml of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms. Then, gently heat the mixture (you can use the microwave for about 10 seconds) until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly.
- 3
Whip the Cream
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

Combine Ingredients
Fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream gently until just combined. Then, add the passion fruit pulp and the dissolved gelatin, folding them in until evenly mixed.
